Pros

Many young people here hungry to do good work. You can make new friends. You'll learn a lot. You get exposed to lots of different industries and work on some cool projects. Benefits were good, lots of insurance and other stuff to choose.

Cons

Management seems lost. Lots of layoffs and people leaving after promises that everything was fine. There appears to be no 5- or 10-year business plan; just "make money from taking on lots of projects." Prevalence of toxic leaders. Expectations felt unrealistic or vague. Management seemed full of cliques. Feedback you got seemed to depend on who you just worked with and whether or not you vibe. Onboarding appeared to come down to "deliver what we tell you to or get lost." Ironic for a company focused on user experience but then didn't seem to care about EMPLOYEE experience. Benefits good, but compensation levels FAR below market value. Inconsistent and opaque promotion methods. Masters degrees or PhDs with years of experience often overlooked. Management seemed to stay hush about why some were promoted and others weren't. From the outside, seemed like the first ones to get the axe were frequently BIPOCs. Thought this company was big on inclusion?
