Great policies on paper, but EVERYTHING is up to your manager

Former employee, less than 1 year

Pros
- Great insurance coverage that is super extensive - Most locations have a full gym, and very few people use it - Free coffee - Flexible work arrangements (most office employees can WFH 4/5 days a week) - Onboarding (on paper) is a smooth process - Lots of ways the company tries to engage employees across teams/departments - Great work/life balance (on paper)
Cons
- They put a lot of trust in managers (they have the autonomy to direct subordinates however they'd like) - Probation is long (6 months) and can be extended - Antiquated management structure that favours tenure over merit - Bad manager = bad experience (many processes / work culture revolve around your manager, and can make it very hostile to employees) - Training/onboarding is very dependent on your manager as well (some managers may skip parts of it or make it unintuitive, such as telling new hires to read a bunch of internal documents to familiarize themselves with the role rather than having a manager/experienced individual show them)

Pros
They pay you very well. Amazing benefits that cover almost all that you need. The culture is mostly good with some bad apples in every batch.
Cons
Tensions in upper management and lower level employees. Competition within different departments. Supervisors (sometimes) seem to babysit you.
