Thank you writing this review. It is great to read that you enjoyed the flexibility and inclusive culture that we have, we work hard to create and maintain this. It is disappointing to hear that you believe our desire for diversity is negatively affecting our performance. We believe that diversity is key to use delivering the best solutions, and the best solutions are created through different perspectives and thinking.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
