Pros

None whatsoever, pay was very average.

Cons

Training was minimal, you are thrown into the work without the proper resources to succeed. You'll realize quickly just how inefficient the processes are but any suggestions to higher-ups are shot down because "that's just not how we do things". Senior PM is unfit for her job, but shifts blame for her shortcomings on everyone around her, including you. Difficult to work with someone who is so passive aggressive in a professional setting. Her talking down to her team and having a condescending attitude created an overall negative atmosphere. Imagine putting in your two weeks notice and the response, "No you can leave right now." Huge red flag. Constant micro-managing was another. Contractors were also treated very poorly here. Everyone leaves within a month. Everyone on my team was hired within the last month. Chaotic.

Pros

Overall, it’s not the worst place to work, but there are several shortcomings the company needs to address. The biggest positive is the people — about 95% of the team was great to work with and genuinely trying to do their best for the company and for themselves. The 401(k) match is strong, though it does require several years of employment before fully vesting. The overall benefits package is average — not exceptional, but generally decent.

Cons

Below‑market compensation and less‑than‑desirable annual raises and bonuses. Increases at the time of promotions were often limited due to a lack of employee leverage. Long‑term employees were not brought up to market rates, while new hires frequently came in earning more than those with tenure and proven performance. Subpar HR team — they are focused solely on protecting the company rather than supporting employees. Unfair practices regarding hybrid and remote schedules. Many employees are allowed to work remotely while the company preaches to the rest that remote work is not an option. Even individuals on the same team or within the same department are given different arrangements. Senior staff are often granted privileges that their direct reports are denied. They heavily preach cost‑cutting, yet allow certain teams to be wasteful and fund perks or community engagement events that fall short of their goals and misuse resources.
