Pros

• Great people, very collaborative • Company in good hands with leadership - employees are proud of the brand • Good benefits, good pay • Remote work opportunities available

Cons

• Work/Life balance is completely unrealistic • Many people managers across organization who should not be managing people because of lack of leadership skills and ability to community effectively what they need/want/expect as a new employee • Expectations within one week of employment are so high, it's a setup to fail • Company is struggling with process from team-to-team; teams don't talk to each other creating constant frustration
