Pros

Colleagues are bright, hard-working and generous.

Cons

- Unlimited PTO removed on 2/1/2020 as we are now hourly employees. - Horrible, non-competitive benefits. If you are considering a family, ask about family leave, laugh, and run away. - Lies and worst CEO ever

Transparency except for when it mattered most

Business Outlook

Pros

I debated leaving this feedback because overall, this was the best job I've ever had for a number of reasons. My colleagues were incredible, and my leaders were even more-so. Leadership was genuinely dedicated to development & creating a world-class culture.

Cons

When it was clear Covid-19 was going to have a huge impact on the economy, the CEO told us in April that we were making a few small changes (pausing hiring, promotions, etc.) so that we could prevent layoffs. Fast-forward to May, we get an invite on our calendars for 30 minutes out and are told that 300 of us are laid off. Given that transparency is one of our core values, it would've been nice to have had a bit of a warning that this was potentially coming so that we could have prepared ourselves.
