Pros

Great perks, they have $ to spend, big office, great location. The work life balance while I was in my role was good. I rarely had to take work life home with me. There are a lot of great people here who are very intelligent and who care about what they do and want to see the company succeed.

Cons

Terrible management, very clicky, super political, was talked down to often, no values, no integrity. I would have very much loved to have kept working here but had a very terrible team experience and no help, encouragement, motivation from my manager to want to stay there. I am very happy with what I have accomplished and done for them but had to move on.

Pros

Flexibility - catered breakfast and lunch? Not a lot to say here. Having a hard time filing out the 20 word minimum

Cons

Shady management. Brought in their old buddies from their former company that failed and fired or forced out all original employees who made the company what it is.
