Pros

Discounted food (didn't stay long enough to enjoy that) Free snacks Laid back dress code

Cons

Not enough training. Management is lackluster and not very knowledgeable. This office is the epitome of petty. They don't want you talking to people in other rows, but management is loud and obnoxious most of the day. Pay is crappy and non negotiable. One week of training just isn't enough and I really hope someone changes this for future employees. They seriously need a handbook. Making up rules as you go isn't professional. I believe a handbook is necessary to back up their decisions with hiring and firing. They should really be concerned with the turnover rate. While some are indeed getting fired, a very large group of people are leaving WITHOUT notice. That should be a strong concern for management.

Pros

Flexible hybrid environment. In-office requirement is 50% of the month, but there is significant autonomy in how those days are scheduled (eg. you can decide to condense your in-office days the first 2 weeks of the month, and work remotely for the next 2 weeks).

Cons

1- Compensation (particularly base salary) is significantly below market. Reliance on RSU as a major component of the compensation package is problematic, given the company’s stock has severely plummeted over the last 5 years (and continues to do so). 2- Professional development is virtually non-existent. Internal promotions are rare (even for top performers) and highly political. 3- Constant reorganizations and frequent layoffs. It is difficult to feel secure in your position when entire teams are being phased out every few months. 4- Toxic and fear-driven culture. There is a prevalent culture of backchannel feedback and a palpable, constant sense of fear regarding job security and retaliation. 5- Unsustainable business model, still. Service is overly reliant on discounting and promotions, which has negatively impacted brand perception and long-term customer value. Path to sustainable growth is unclear. Leadership also doesn't seem to know what to do, as they frequently pivot strategy, with new directions introduced every few months (if not every few weeks). This lack of consistency creates a sense of instability and leaves teams feeling as though the company lacks a cohesive, long-term vision. 6- Leadership tone. Leaders often lack respect for both employees and the customer base (it is common for them to make derogatory and insulting comments in business meetings about customers who cancel their service).
