Pros

The products they produce saves lives and help families. Surprisingly generous to not for profits

Cons

Zero respect lockdown and other covid safety measures. As someone who has a poor immune system I was made to feel guilty for not working in the office after a case (the office was cleaned once a week...) When I had covid and was probably contagious in the office no other employees was alerted to this. Casual rascim towards employees of colour or simply in casual conversation. You will be told it is a flexible workplace however you have little choice over your work from home days and all staff mandatory meetings are often scheduled on days that most employees are not in the office. You cannot switch your days. The marketing department was often referred to as the 'colouring in department', there is disrespect between all departments. Not a good workplace for pregnant people or families. Lastly, there are no exit interviews so management are unwilling to change.
