Pros

Coworkers, flexibility, half days on fridays

Cons

- Zero support for employees and their development - EXTREMELY intense environment, it's like a breeding ground for anxiety/imposter syndrome - Retention is so bad.. mass exodus feels like it's always happening, no one stays more than 2 years and its obvious why - DEI is pathetic and just a buzzword, they are the first to speak out in situations to gain IG followers and create "task forces" but if you take a look at their employees it says it all... Maybe 1% of employees could be considered diverse so not sure how they can claim it as a priority - Leadership is the biggest con and the reason why I would not tell my worst enemy to work here: - Leaders are in a different world than the rest of the company with abstract expectations that are not well communicated. They will make you feel like an idiot if you cannot read their minds and perfection is absolutely expected, no room for mistakes/failure - Leaders/managers cannot have "hard" or 'honest" conversations so its impossible to know where you stand - Everyone walks on egg shells around them and it's VERY hierarchical
