Pros

Unlimited PTO is offered and can be a valuable benefit for those who feel comfortable using it; though, consistently heavy workloads can make it challenging to take full advantage of the policy. There are frequent career opportunities due to high turnover in certain departments, which can create openings for employees looking to advance or move into new roles.

Cons

Within the last year or two leadership has operated in a top‑down manner, dictating priorities and timelines with limited input from the teams doing the work. When projects don’t go as planned, accountability is often pushed downward rather than shared. In recent years, the company has increasingly favored lower‑cost, less‑experienced hires, which has resulted in the loss of several senior employees and institutional knowledge.

Pros

Solid pay and benefits Some cool people

Cons

No longer the amazing culture and place to work that it once was They do 1-2 rounds of layoffs every year for lower level employees but rarely make any changes to the top level leadership, who are the deeper root of the problems that happen. Very much a PE backed firm - must increase YOY by 30%, assigns ridiculous quota plans, fire anyone who can't hit the plan
