Pros
Casual work environment. Smart people. Good technology. Attempts are made by the Culture Team to sponsor fun company events. Once was a decent place to work, but slipping dramatically.
Cons
The culture was a big selling point to me before I joined. When you get hired you realize how the culture is explained and what it really is are two very different things. The company boasts about having an open, collaborative environment where ideas can be shared, employees can confide in leadership, opinions are heard, opportunities to grow are available and that employees are the top priority. I quickly learned that is not the case. Specifically, there is one person in leadership who manages by fear, threats, intimidation and bullying tactics. When these issues are brought to the President/CEO, he ignores them. People have been told that if they stand up to this person, they will be fired. He has been the cause for numerous people leaving the company. Rules do not apply to him and he thrives on creating conflict. There are some very smart, talented employees here that are not challenged or empowered. The company pride once found here is deflated. Now that we answer to an investment company we no longer have control over our destiny. That was proven with the recent RIF where many talented people were told that their jobs had been eliminated, even though growth and expansion was the #1 goal for 2016.
