Pros

Some really great people work here

Cons

Like many of the other reviews indicate - this can be a very toxic place to work. On one hand you have HR posting publically about how much they support mental health and mental health disclosure in the workplace but in practice, HR and most managers are unsupportive. I have had team members told directly by HR to not speak outloud about any health issue mental or physical and we are told to not take any type of time off. If we do take time off we will be "on a list" which is code for included in the next round of layoffs.

Pros

None. This company should seriously rethink whether it deserves to exist in its current form. The culture is deeply toxic, leadership is disconnected from reality, and employees are treated as disposable resources rather than human beings with families, lives, and limits.

Cons

This is one of the most demoralizing places I have ever worked. The company talks endlessly about culture and values while operating in a way that actively destroys people’s personal lives and mental well-being. Work-life balance is essentially nonexistent if you want to remain employed. The expectation is that work comes before everything: your children, partner, health, aging parents, and basic quality of life. Leadership is painfully two-faced. There is a huge disconnect between what is said publicly and what actually happens internally. Transparency is performative. Collaboration is political. Fear drives decision-making more than strategy or innovation. The business itself feels antiquated and directionless. Instead of evolving meaningfully, there seems to be endless reactive restructuring, shifting priorities, and corporate theater. Teams are stretched thin while leadership continues to push unrealistic expectations without the compensation, resources, or clarity needed to succeed. Compensation is shockingly low compared to industry standards, especially considering the workload and expectations. Many talented people are underpaid, overworked, and burned out. There is also a deeply unhealthy normalization of burnout. People are praised for sacrificing nights, weekends, family time, and personal well-being. Over time, it wears people down emotionally and physically. Talented people leave. The people who stay often seem too exhausted, fearful, or institutionalized to challenge the dysfunction.
