Pros

Great compensation, innovative technology and business model. I enjoyed my initial entry from applying to speaking to a recruiter, to working with my manager and many other senior managers. Great benefits.

Cons

Toxic management, and if you weren't part of the inner circle, you were outcasted and promotions were out the window. I experienced discrimination and unfortunately, I didn't leave the company, I left the people there, from managers on up. Don't expect to be treated well if you aren't part of the 'it' crowd.

Pros

Nice office environment with free food and drinks available. The gym and company perks are a nice bonus. There are also some genuinely good people on the team who make the workplace more enjoyable.

Cons

Management can feel overly political, and some managers appear to give more attention and opportunities to favorites rather than treating employees consistently. While the company talks about supporting mental health, the day-to-day culture does not always reflect that message. There is also growing uncertainty about long-term job stability as AI becomes more integrated into the work.
