Pros

Rapid growth Great brand Great benefits Many awesome people Challenging and interesting work Opportunity to take on projects and grow Focused on improvement

Cons

Inefficient and insufficient processes and systems. TA dept. is extremely underfunded and understaffed for a company that size and growing that rapidly. "Fast-paced" is code for overworked. Many unresolved simple issues for long periods of time without the authority of time to fix it myself. I received no actual training when I started and very littlelater on. Work/life balance was nonexistent, very high pressure, being pulled in many different directions. Focus on metrics without the support necessary. The high job requisition load per recruiter has been negatively impacting the business teams workloads as well. Heavy office politics and gossip. Feedback provided is too delayed and indirect. Some big egos to navigate. Leadership speaks out of both sides of their mouths on occasion. Culture is pretty good but a bit artificial and superficial.

Pros

Competitive pay — Compensation is solid compared to industry averages. • Pockets of good people — There are teams with genuinely decent, hardworking individuals trying to do the right thing. • Occasional bright spots — A few groups operate professionally despite the broader culture.

Cons

Retaliation everywhere — Speak up and you’re targeted. • Fabricated reviews — Feedback is made up to justify punishment. • Toxic cliques — Closed circles run the place and crush anyone outside them. • Hostile leadership — Belittling and aggression are normalized. • Politics over skill — Competence is irrelevant; alliances decide everything. • Fear‑driven culture — Employees stay silent because retaliation is guaranteed. • Hypocrisy everywhere — You’re excluded, then blamed for not being involved. • Values are a façade — The company talks integrity but operates on intimidation.
