Pros

The work itself was interesting and enjoyable, training Alexa.

Cons

Management was catty, cliquey, and incompetent. Changed from remote work with the option to work in person, to all in person and forced to resign. Criminally underpaid for how much was put on our plates and expected of us. No room for growth once you reach level 3 DA, but they’ll lie and say there is.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
