Pros

Some hardworking colleagues with deep TD product expertise and unlimited PTO (which by the way you don't have time to use).

Cons

1. Disappointing Leadership Choices- It's frustrating to see a new manager hired directly from a competitor. This decision feels like a lack of recognition for those of us who have shown dedication and loyalty to the team. It also raises concerns about the company's approach to internal growth and support for long-term employees, impacting trust and team dynamics. 2. Challenging Environment- The workplace culture can feel toxic, making it difficult to stay motivated and engaged. Constructive communication and encouragement are limited, leading to a generally tense atmosphere. 3. Bureaucratic Culture- There's a strong sense of bureaucracy here that often slows down decision-making and innovation. This rigid structure hinders growth and creates a lot of unnecessary red tape, making it challenging to get things done efficiently. 4. Limited Guidance and Support- Employees often feel left to navigate things independently. The lack of proper guidance, mentorship, and support can be discouraging, especially for those looking to grow within the company. Conclusion -Overall, working here has been challenging and feels mentally exhausting.

Pros

- unlimited PTO and wellness time off - decent health insurance - some of the people there are a joy to work with

Cons

- no longer matches on 401k until 2027 - want a work-life balance? You have to earn it in 2027 - the execs don't care about their employees - replacing everyone with artificial intelligence or as it's called, the North Star of the company - reeducation in staff with increased workloads
