Pros

- My position was 100% WFH (mostly) even before Covid-19. - The salary pay was decent at least for me.

Cons

- Management is a bit of a mess (they forced all the Devs to work over weekends, on Labor Day Weekend, because of their bad planning). - They cut pay during Covid-19, then promised to pay it back (you have to stay an entire year to get any amount back, but then they decide to force everyone to take a week off without pay, WTH?) - Insurance Plan is Mediocre, regular complaints at weekly Town-hall meetings about how crappy our plan was. - Team dynamics was a bit of a mess, lots of Silo's, people out for themselves. - Company is going backwards in certain ways, like the technology stacks they are using.

Pros

I work with diverse and supportive people. Teams and leaders demonstrate the will to respond to worker needs with kindness and respect. On the operational level, teams are highly flexible and adapt quickly to changes when provided proper support. Work-life balance is high priority for the people I interact with.

Cons

The company has difficulty holding on to talent in tech fields since a good chunk of the focus has to be allocated to art/design and production instead. CEOs come and go every few years, leading to instability. For some teams, the process remains overly complex and inefficient because of misalignments between leadership/engineering and ops team users. No formal humanist policy around AI & robotics yet.
