Pros

Work life balance is unheard of amazing. Working from home is encouraged and PTO is almost 30 days. Super flexible and relaxed work environment. Super casual dress everyday. Managers can be amazing but depends on your team. Work load is pretty steady and doesn’t require crazy hours. No email on phones which was honestly my favorite part. When you leave work, you are really off.

Cons

Salary is absolute trash and no matter how hard you work upper management doesn’t do anything to throw you a bone. High ranking management holds down growth with an iron fist and wipes out any and all paths to promotion and raises. Working from home is great but work from home can’t pay my rent.

Pros

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
