Pros

Half-day Fridays for the summer. Beer cart. Exceptionally good marketing team. People don’t work as hard as those at other companies I’ve worked at.

Cons

Lip service to individual performance and skills. No value associated with capabilities beyond specific job description. Limited opportunities for internal growth unless you are personal friends with upper management. Continual layoffs for the last 3 years. Don’t know how to motivate or retain top talent … the reason for so many openings. Not a state-of-the-art company.

Pros

Remote Growth Encouraging Innovative Flexible used to have amazing culture and values - all ratings would be at 5 star up until recently.

Cons

Not sure if the culture and values will continue or if they will become lost with new ownership. With this in mind, because of uncertainty... I give all the ratings below a 3. Until I learn more I cannot honestly in good faith refer a friend. pay/work low staffed going through turmoil restructuring resent uncertainty
