Pros

Free coffee. I was a barista beforehand and the coffee is about the only good perk. They take the free Spotify out of your paycheck

Cons

Believe all of the cons you hear

Pros

Some good people are still there, compensation was good but raises are now stagnant

Cons

New leadership has come in and in short order killed the culture and motivation of most employees. There’s a lot of talk about wanting to build back the culture but it all feels like really insincere lip service. 25% of the corporate staff has been laid off in less than 2 years.
