Many thanks for sharing your feedback through this review. While we have been working hard on career development programs for all employees and igniting each employee's growth through a number of frameworks to support employees it's clear that this didn't feel accessible to you. Your feedback is really appreciated as we constantly strive to improve on what's working and focus more strongly on areas that are lacking.

Pros

Remote work Uses Apple technology instead of PC

Cons

Time off is at the mercy of your manager, if your manager does not believe in time off or mental health it is hard to get a break. Burnout culture is a real issue here. Management expects you to work overtime everyday even if you do not make overtime not will they give you the time back by letting you go early. There is also an expectation that you will use email and messaging in your personal phone so your manager can access you whenever they wish. Pay is not competitive and they use stocks to say they pay competitively as "total compensation" when in reality it is how they under pay salaries. Constant revolving door, no respect for employees. Very much a "we can replace them" attitude. No training or development by leaders.

Hi - thank you for taking the time to write this review. We implemented health apps to give employees access 24/7 to professional coaching / mental health support, but we appreciate your points raised here about your particular experience and will take the feedback onboard.
