Pros

Good salary ...need five words so here's more

Cons

They just changed the policy and Innow have no time off without manager approval and it's a "Silicon Valley mentality" meaning IRS expected you eat & breathe the company and not take any of the time off. I'd planned for six months to have the kids for a week this summer and then they booked a big meeting and wouldn't let me take time off.

Pros

I work with diverse and supportive people. Teams and leaders demonstrate the will to respond to worker needs with kindness and respect. On the operational level, teams are highly flexible and adapt quickly to changes when provided proper support. Work-life balance is high priority for the people I interact with.

Cons

The company has difficulty holding on to talent in tech fields since a good chunk of the focus has to be allocated to art/design and production instead. CEOs come and go every few years, leading to instability. For some teams, the process remains overly complex and inefficient because of misalignments between leadership/engineering and ops team users. No formal humanist policy around AI & robotics yet.
