Pros
Compensation is strong, and there is growth opportunity if you’re one of the lucky free who survive.
Cons
They lay off around 30% of the team on an annual basis for “performance”. They laid off most of sales, and much of engineering, HR, and other essential teams this year, including many high-ranking individuals, such as the head of talent acquisition and the Chief Credit Officer. No one is safe, and leadership is inept at evaluating performance, retaining talent, and running the business. The parent company, CKC, and the CEO of the sister company, Beyond, treat people of all ranks like trash. They will call employees s middle curse at them. They will terminate employees at a moment’s notice for simple mistakes or for objecting to the inhumane treatment. I have never seen a similarly aggressive, ineffective, hostile, or non-inclusive management group as this. Also, “unlimited PTO” means 2 weeks if you’re lucky. It’s just so they don’t have to pay out PTO for everyone they fire. And work-life balance is awful. Expect 50 hours a week for analyst, and 60+ for everyone above that. Seriously, if you doubt any of this, look up any ex-Above employees (of which there are many) on LinkedIn.
