Pros
A lot of really dedicated and talented employees
Cons
I’ve mostly liked working here but the cultural touting doesn’t necessarily match the reality of demographics here. Probably not the right fit if you’re queer or a POC and looking for actual solidarity. We have a few Asian employees and 1 black employee. No posts on socials for Black History month and probably nothing employee-centric for Pride month but there was a post for AAPI because there are enough (4) Asian employees to not make it weird about showcasing the 1 black employee (2 if you count an intern) in February. We were told that some staff would be laid off due to projects being put on hold (RIGHT after celebrating our biggest project moving forward a month prior) but it took leadership around a month to actually announce who/how many would be let go after telling us that project was essentially on hold and majorly pivoting and cutting staff. Those weeks were brutal for those awaiting their fate and it felt we were all like sitting ducks waiting to hear who would be cut and scrambling to prove our worth. In the meantime (and in the same meeting staff layoffs were announced) we announced a new associate joining the company. Not great timing especially after the MAJOR and marked increase in hiring within 6 months prior. We’re losing some strong leadership but don’t have a good picture of who will replace them. Remaining leadership could benefit from some executive training to garner more confidence from staff going forward. In the meantime, a lot of staff has felt uncomfortable and wanting to jump ship but the market makes it difficult. We’re watching toxic folks being kept around to the discomfort of others while those in alignment with the company’s values are worried about their stability. A lot of growing pains but it’s difficult to watch toxic employee(s) sit comfortably while the rest of us struggle to demonstrate our worth. Hoping there will be a shift in culture and work balance in the near future but not feeling valued enough to willingly invest the time to watch it unfold and show us.
