Pros

Amazing, thoughtful coworkers (and middle management!) who work to maintain a culture of kindness, respect and queer joy, while producing high-quality work.

Cons

It has gotten scary here! - Deeply out of touch C-suite, who came in when the company was THRIVING to take us public, and then promptly and systematically destroyed the things that MADE us thrive. - A CEO with a public track record of donating to anti-trans politicians (???), and complete inability to listen to (and lack of interest in) employees. He most recently made the choice to hire a notorious union-busting law firm instead of recognizing his workers’ right to organize. - CEO/CFO have fired well-liked, top performers over and over, leaving projects without leaders and the company understaffed - just to avoid any dissenting opinions. - Our entire HR department has quit in light of this - leaving us all with no recourse or support whatsoever. - Finally, after being a remote company for years, since before the pandemic and long before he joined the company, the CEO announced via a zoom call that we would no longer be remote. He told us that folks would have TWO weeks to make the decision to make cross-country moves if they wanted to keep their jobs. He immediately cut the call, and he (and all of C-Suite) refused to engage with concerned employees.
