Pros

There is decent medical and 401k matching.

Cons

Salary is low for the industry, "unlimited time off" is at managers discretion, there are pay gaps, gender bias, and it's not a cohesive environment - every service for themself.

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
