Pros
Getting paid at the 50th percentile, lol no. Healthcare was good.
Cons
I believe this company is filled with leaders who are egomaniacs who say they are down-to-earth and honest but foster a toxic, cut-throat culture where you need to know how to pretend and use the "language" but results don't matter. They've won diversity awards that I question if they paid for. It's a rich white culture filled with people who look and act alike. If you don’t fit, you leave or get fired. A Diversity award is completely laughable. Sure, they have a few people of color. Everything they told me during my interviews was a lie. Best Places to work also seems like a lie…they probably pressured employees. Sure, those who they like are made to feel like gods. They compensate people's egos but underpay.

New hires would come in and be repelled by this dysfunctional company. I know this because I was in HR, hired as a recruiter to relocate to Santa Barbara. Attrition is a major problem at this company. . HR is a particularly toxic team as they don't actually have any power and no one tries to understand the value that could be provided. Their expectations of me were extreme. No ramp, no training, and my workload tripled within 6 weeks when they "managed out" another recruiter who wasn't "performing". In less than 90 days on the job, I had made over 20 job offers while I also relocated myself. Then I was fired for telling someone I had gotten out of an abusive marriage and was stalked. Ridiculously they also said it was because in the conversation I had mentioned I had a weapon for protection. A young(ish) single female relocates to a foreign city after a dangerous situation should have self-protection. This was from the HR team! I wasn't offered relocation back home, was tied to a 1 year lease, and they offered 1 month severance in exchange for my silence. I declined. They will probably say I am disgruntled. Getting fired was the best thing that happened because I got away when I did. Do not work here if your happiness or values are important to you. Good luck!
