Pros

Pay and benefits are ok - but that's because otherwise, no one would stay.

Cons

Leadership seems determined to dig the hole they've already made even deeper. New management’s ever-changing focus and direction has led to chaos, office politics, and a steady loss of both talent and money. They love to harp about "efficiency" but are easily the most inefficient people in the room. Zero respect for people's time which is very ironic, given how much talk there is about efficiency. Swings between being completely hands-off or full blown micromanaging. After forcing out people who actually knew what they were doing, the company went on to hire people who clearly don't (other than excelling at internal politics). HR who??? Doesn't make a difference to them if you live or die. No matter how many red flags are raised about disturbing behaviour that risks others' mental health - even with evidence and done through official channels - nothing gets done.

Pros

PTO and 401k match decent

Cons

Leadership quality has declined significantly in recent years. Juniors must absorb additional work and compensate for gaps in communication & organization because senior members are all but absent. High performers are rewarded with more work rather than meaningful recognition or advancement opportunities. Being a strong employee just meant receiving a disproportionate share of the workload and not being listened to when change would have been beneficial for my growth. The company is heavily focused on AI at the expense of critical thinking and professional judgment. The emphasis feels misplaced and creates additional rework rather than improving efficiency. Morale is low, turnover is high, and teams are stretched thin. Hiring has not kept pace with turnover, resulting in increased workloads for remaining employees. The culture has shifted noticeably from a collaborative environment to one where many employees feel unheard and disengaged.
