Pros

Everyone works remotely, from top to bottom. Competitive Salaries. Good benefits.

Cons

The former "good culture" that everyone talks about is dying off. Many people were hired at the middle and upper middle level who know nothing about the industry, and they overlook people who have been at the company for a long time. While everyone may not be required to know eDiscovery, there should be a mixture at the leadership level. Many of the leaders that were making the company great have left, along with talented individuals. The company is constantly advertising DEI, no judgment, and skill-based performance reviews, but it has become corrupt. There have been 3 mass layoffs, 2 of them recent. I am frustrated and have expressed some of it to leadership. They have suggested I leave instead of helping to resolve my issues. I guess they don't need anyone - a leadership vacuum.
