Pros

Still some amazing perks, the people are amazing and the teams work together well

Cons

It's just exhausting constantly going into company wide meetings about how entire slices of the company are losing high-value perks ranging from compensation to schedule flexibility. Even when you're not the target, the mood in those meetings is HEAVY. People naturally have a lot to say, but are only given platitudes about how much they value feedback (that is never formally solicited and is never addressed again). Lot of "top-down" mandates that change things for everyone, yet were decided on by a closed door meeting in secret. They're really speed-running trimming off anything from the company that makes it above average.

Pros

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Cons

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
