Pros

Pay is decently fair compared to market value.

Cons

The organization has pursued aggressive growth that it was not fully prepared to support, which led to large-scale layoffs affecting many employees at the very beginning of the year. There are ongoing concerns around favoritism, particularly within People Operations, and a lack of accountability at various levels of leadership - from supervisors, manager, and above. Although candor is emphasized as a company value, it is not consistently reflected in practice. Compensation practices lack fairness and clarity, making it difficult for employees to understand or trust how raises and advancement decisions are made.

Pros

Good pay and benefits Flexible PTO RSU's

Cons

Company morale is low. The other recent reviews stating this are extremely accurate. Company culture has eroded and the company values don't seem to matter anymore. 'Winning Right' has become lip service. Senior leadership refuses to address the problems many departments are having with headcount and workload. They don't really care about the customer experience. RTO makes no sense when most of your team remains remote in the same role, a role in which you spend much of the time on calls with customers and meeting with other team members virtually. Not enough staff to support the RMS customer base and ticket counts have ballooned.
