Pros

Reasonable salary Health benefits are reasonable, though it used to be great.

Cons

Nonethical upper management, A few 180-degree decisions by CTO, no consistency on the decision process. A lot of the micromanagement process is getting pushed down with a lot of reviews No full bonus for the last 3 years, but on your offer letter it is a full bonus.

Pros

I work with diverse and supportive people. Teams and leaders demonstrate the will to respond to worker needs with kindness and respect. On the operational level, teams are highly flexible and adapt quickly to changes when provided proper support. Work-life balance is high priority for the people I interact with.

Cons

The company has difficulty holding on to talent in tech fields since a good chunk of the focus has to be allocated to art/design and production instead. CEOs come and go every few years, leading to instability. For some teams, the process remains overly complex and inefficient because of misalignments between leadership/engineering and ops team users. No formal humanist policy around AI & robotics yet.
