Pros

Good work-life balance, don't work extra hours

Cons

Extremely poor pay - Minimum wage salaries while expecting professional-level work and commitment. Toxic senior leadership - SLT creates a hostile work environment with zero respect for employees. Brutal layoff process - Mass terminations handled with complete disregard for human dignity or basic decency. Terrible workplace culture - Management treats staff like disposable resources rather than people.

We know there’s still work to do when it comes to enablement and tooling, and your feedback is a helpful reminder of where to keep investing our energy.
