Awesome company brand yet does not offer equal benefits as it’s competitors

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Growing and changing everyday. Being a part of the future.

Cons

Management is not focused on what employees want and need to grow and scale successfully. Building offices and bringing everyone back into offices will not work for the tech future. After a year & half of working remotely they must offer a hybrid model, like their competitors, or they will not only lose out on new talent but won’t grow to their potential as many will leave.
