Pros

The people truly make the job. My team was full of intelligent, hard working, fun people who I became close friends with. Benefits were good. Generous bonus. Good insurance. Lots of other small benefits here and there, such as health and wellness reimbursement, backup childcare subsidy, etc. 3 weeks PTO plus 2 floating holidays 3 months paid maternity leave, paternity leave is offered as well. The job itself is logical, and once you get your feet planted you feel yourself growing.

Cons

Mandatory office attendance on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Not a lot of opportunities to get to the next level. In the 3 years I was there, I saw 1 person be promoted from senior to manager. There are several seniors who are ready or almost ready for the leap, but not a need for more managers. So it’s kind of halting our career progression. Further, without a promotion, the annual salary increase is not matching the market rate for new hires. This causes turnover, which makes the job harder for those who stay. The generous bonus does offset this some, but I gained no buying power with my annual increases (and honestly lost some since inflation is so high)

Pros

Overall, it’s not the worst place to work, but there are several shortcomings the company needs to address. The biggest positive is the people — about 95% of the team was great to work with and genuinely trying to do their best for the company and for themselves. The 401(k) match is strong, though it does require several years of employment before fully vesting. The overall benefits package is average — not exceptional, but generally decent.

Cons

Below‑market compensation and less‑than‑desirable annual raises and bonuses. Increases at the time of promotions were often limited due to a lack of employee leverage. Long‑term employees were not brought up to market rates, while new hires frequently came in earning more than those with tenure and proven performance. Subpar HR team — they are focused solely on protecting the company rather than supporting employees. Unfair practices regarding hybrid and remote schedules. Many employees are allowed to work remotely while the company preaches to the rest that remote work is not an option. Even individuals on the same team or within the same department are given different arrangements. Senior staff are often granted privileges that their direct reports are denied. They heavily preach cost‑cutting, yet allow certain teams to be wasteful and fund perks or community engagement events that fall short of their goals and misuse resources.
