Pros

People are really personable and great to work with Flexible time off

Cons

Right now the company is on a path to slowly bleed out, private equity has laid off experienced and dedicated workers and offloaded their work to cheaper options in Mexico, India and Poland. After being there for 3 years I never received a promotion even though my responsibilities grew every few months. There is no positive direction for the company as all the superstars have either been laid off or left because they are more valued elsewhere. Even after showing how RIFs are affecting the side of the business I was involved in, private equity continued to lay off many many workers without a care. Private equity bought the company during a time where the economy was not doing well and they are scrambling to save as much money as they can at the cost of decent people who actually cared about the company

Toxic work environment, HR way too involved in everything, the company expects us to be robots, document everything every person says at all times. Over working everyone since layoffs
