Pros

Company is doing well + growing fast Tech is good, we're on the bleeding edge of AI + ML Company brand + marketing is on point

Cons

Work-Life Balance. * Manager is working 12+ hour days and sometimes weekends. I somehow manage to claw out a standard 40 hour work week, but I fear that may change soon * On-Call required but not stated on job description or mentioned in interviews stated Poor Management * Company laid off 5% of staff after our best quarter ever. What a waste of good talent... they're gonna have to spend loads of money finding + training replacements once the company continues growing * Incompetent designers frequently lead to simple design changes taking weeks to implement. * Manager has zero planning + estimation skills, and refuses to allow us to spend any time on planning/estimation * Team has no product manager, leading to every single request being prioritized based not on value add but instead on how pushy its stakeholder is

Pros

Best company I've ever worked for. Pay, learning and development, and growth opportunities are endless. Poor results will be called out (in a constructive way) leaders will work with you areas in need of improvement.

Cons

You have to WORK hard. There is no easy path to be successful. You cannot fake it to make it here.

Pros

Competitive compensation and strong benefits package. The coworkers and frontline teams are one of the company’s greatest strengths many are incredibly hardworking, supportive, and committed to helping both customers and teammates succeed.

Cons

Significant operational gaps continue to impact efficiency and employee experience. Reporting systems and workforce planning frequently feel disconnected from the realities of day-to-day operations. Employees and leaders are often expected to be accountable for metrics without reliable reporting or clear guidance on how those metrics are measured. Workload distribution can feel inconsistent, creating an environment where some teams and managers become overextended while others are underutilized. This contributes to burnout, frustration, and a lack of confidence in operational decision-making.
