Pros

"Unlimited Vacation" policy and promised bonuses. Decent health care.

Cons

Leaders have said no bonuses will be paid in March 2022 in spite of a 200% y2y stock increase. Everyone is constantly working long hours with deadlines. Management has no plans to change the work environment. Opinions of employees are ignored or not even solicited. 50% turnover rate in 2021 often driven by lack of internal promotion opportunities. Leaders are toxic, abusive towards employees. When needed HR is non existent. All PMO employees were directed to be given meets expectations in spite of performance. RSUs are only going to be awarded to exceptional ratings. Hiring is biased, even when multiple interviewers give a strong no, a managers with personal biases still makes the hire. Innovation is mostly non existent. No feeling of job security. Layoffs are always a fear and happen without notice to employees. Company hid the numbers of the last layoff ( WARN ACT ). People who have been with the company for years are let go or forced out without severance. Too many leaders lacking the experience to perform their roles. People cannot safely speak up about problems and rightly fear reprisal.
