Pros

The company offers fantastic benefits, a very competative salary, and is made up of many employees who truly want to do the best job possible.

Cons

The company has undergone tremendous growth over the last few years, and this has not always been managed in the best way possible. Some long-time employees are clearly unhappy with the direction the company is moving. What started out as a small, highly collaborative working environment has become more and more like "big pharma".

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
