Great people, fantastic office. In general a very good company to work for.

Pros

- Competitive pay and unlimited PTO - Effort to grow their people with CareerGPS program

Cons

- All about the money - Leaders come from loyalty to the company and not competency in managerial roles - Limited benefits package - Promotes "showing up authentically" but only if you're neurotypical. Complete lack of awareness for neurodiversity. - Favours HQ; other offices aren't treated the same
