Pros

Great employee groups, great teams to work with, the people are wonderful. REMOTE positions!

Cons

CEO continuously lays off people. She has laid off more than she has hired. You will work very hard and perhaps more than the usual 45 hours per week (NOT including lunch). They like to claim one thing about their environment, when in fact it's something different. Might be sabotaged if they want to control you. No way to reach Human Resources other than leaving them a message to contact you.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
