Pros

Some of the benefits, Hack Week and other company events, not much else

Cons

Leadership is green and have no clue what they’re doing. Everything is perceived as urgent so there’s always more work piled on with short deadlines without flexibility to deprioritize other work. So many employees are taking mental health leave because they can’t afford to not have a job but they also cannot work in an environment this toxic. Not a disability friendly culture - there is a general lack of consideration in all their people programs besides the events for people with disabilities especially those who are neurodivergent. Talent development is a joke - our performance management program is one-sided and doesn’t fairly evaluate all faces of an employees performance. You are not able to share your opinion and often times give feedback openly otherwise you’re considered to not have a “growth mindset” or you’re perceived as “not having good intent” yes this goes into their performance management. There is a ton of favoritism - other people who are under-qualified being promoted or being recognized/taking credit for other peoples work. You can’t trust the HR team especially the HR Business Partners at all. They’re practically useless and cover the tracks of their friends who are toxic managers. Anything you tell them is not confidential it’s actually used against you in your performance management. They say they have a high performance standard now (lollllol) but toxic managers are never held to the same standard. They say care about people but it’s all a talk track I don’t even think they have a clue what the first step for caring for people is. Stay away from this place if you value your mental health.
