Pros

Relatively relaxed work pace compared to many other tech companies. Better work-life balance.

Cons

Culture and values are oversold. It does not trickle down to line managers who have their own baggage from their previous experiences and work culture. People don't seem so driven to work that work does not seem work, it's so enjoyable! That's not great for the younger workers to thrive in the industry and be sought after. The proprietary programming language most developers use, is also an issue. It's generally hard to get in even through internal referrals!

Pros

Flex work model- 50% in office Direct team is supportive- great people (hope they stay)

Cons

Constant churn in leadership and shifting priorities. Feels like we can’t get anything done. VPs and SVPs who only care about managing up. Vision is lacking Slow decisions and lots of layers of approval Women pushed out of leadership Feels like they are gaslighting people with talk of being employee first yet they hire leaders who do not live that value.
