Pros

The pros of working here are that you own your work and can be as creative as possible. I love not being held in restraints when it comes to ideation and executing projects. I've made some great lifelong friends and connections here as well.

Cons

1. Impossible to get a raise or level change 2. Rigged performance structure with literal letter grades 3. Forced work culture (being kind and professional is not enough) they want you to suck up to people and give Disney World treatment 4. No opportunties to make more even if you go on another team you keep the same salary even if that role pays more 5. Forced to come to the office 3 days a week it will be 5 soon (mind you there is not enough seats) all the jobs can be done from home it's a way to control people

Pros

There are some truly fantastic and talented people in the company who make daily collaboration a great experience. Additionally, the insurance and overall health benefits package is quite strong and comprehensive.

Cons

The work culture is heavily driven by top-down directives from HQ, leaving little room for open discussion, transparency, or questioning management decisions. The bi-yearly rating cycle feels highly punitive and is frequently used to target individuals rather than foster growth, leading to an environment where anyone can be abruptly let go. Work-life balance is virtually non-existent due to tedious, high-volume workloads and constant alignment with overseas timelines. Furthermore, leadership instability is a constant concern; local management changes rapidly, frequently replaced by leaders from the parent company, creating an unpredictable and highly volatile work environment.
