Pros

Flexible hours. Good worklife balance.

Cons

Stressful culture with a lack of clear vision and guidance from the top down. All leaders have been there a while and disconnected from teams. As others noted, it is a toxic culture where people are fakely nice, management does help grow and guide their team, and leads to burn out. Hr has little actual power in the process so employees aren’t protected against cruel managers.

Pros

Empathetic, smart people in a lot places.

Cons

Senior leadership has changed alot in the years since the pandemic highs and it's not quite stabilized. Overvalued executors and undervalued those with high EQ and people leadership. Promoted executors into senior roles and then they floundered and exited, or worse they chased away better potential fits for those roles who were overlooked.

Pros

cool culture flexible work arrangements, decent pay, cool work.

Cons

outsourcing everything they can, selling all they can for parts, its a sinking ship of a company. keep in mind that they spend more on labor in Mexico city than in USA! What a sham! should be taken off US Stock exchange for that! Loosing users at a steady rate year of year. I'd avoid. no growth opportunity. Not brand vision.
