Pros

- Good benefits and perks, nice offices - Lots of genuinely great people

Cons

Complete lack of transparency or care from leadership; - learned our office lease was not being renewed when the landlord brought prospective new tenants to see the office during a workday, followed by us finding the office listed for lease online. - learned of a potential company sale from a news article. - two rounds of layoffs in 2024 affecting >500 employees. Layoffs seem to be an annual trend.

Some departments have a negative reputation and if you’re in it, then you will feel immense pressure There’s a “Flavour of the month” when it comes to strategy Great initially but becomes draining as time goes on
