Pros

Challenging, interesting work. Good people surround you. Salary falls short, but benifits are pretty good.

Cons

Employees are treated like sheep...simply fall in line and do what you're told. Executive's receive between 5-12% annual increases to their massive base salaries, and cash bonuses (not to mention huge equity based benefits). I imagine the same reward exists for senior leadship. The "sheep", however are lucky to receive a cost of living adjustment (3-4%). Quarterly "team award" bonuses are pitiful, and the criteria to receive them gets increasingly more difficult (without the benefit of increased reward). Efforts to discuss increased value with Management, goes unheard.

Pros

Overall, it’s not the worst place to work, but there are several shortcomings the company needs to address. The biggest positive is the people — about 95% of the team was great to work with and genuinely trying to do their best for the company and for themselves. The 401(k) match is strong, though it does require several years of employment before fully vesting. The overall benefits package is average — not exceptional, but generally decent.

Cons

Below‑market compensation and less‑than‑desirable annual raises and bonuses. Increases at the time of promotions were often limited due to a lack of employee leverage. Long‑term employees were not brought up to market rates, while new hires frequently came in earning more than those with tenure and proven performance. Subpar HR team — they are focused solely on protecting the company rather than supporting employees. Unfair practices regarding hybrid and remote schedules. Many employees are allowed to work remotely while the company preaches to the rest that remote work is not an option. Even individuals on the same team or within the same department are given different arrangements. Senior staff are often granted privileges that their direct reports are denied. They heavily preach cost‑cutting, yet allow certain teams to be wasteful and fund perks or community engagement events that fall short of their goals and misuse resources.
