Pros

People in the department are nice so far and helpful

Cons

1) It's like a sweat shop...9 - 6 hours with 30 minute lunch break and two 15 minute breaks...I never had to deal with that before...always had an hour lunch with mini breaks in between. 2) What they don't tell you is that you don't have any holidays off that you would normally get to have the day off.. No 4th of July, Memorial Day, Veteran's Day, MLK etc... you only get one day for New Years, Thanksgiving, Christmas... 3) The office is closed on all the Jewish holidays, some days you will get paid and other days you won't. So if you don't have any PTO time on days where you won't get paid, you have to take a loss for those days. I have NEVER heard of anything like that before and I think that is something that should be told to you during the interview process... I have a big issue with that. 4) You have half day on Fridays but I heard they are going to get rid of it... Zero work-life balance at all... by the time you get home, you are tired from the day... very hard to adjust to working every day if you are used to a hybrid schedule.

Pros

It was an incredible, one of a kind place to work at prior to the hiring of the current CEO Menashe Horowitz.

Cons

Summary of Company Grievances ​The current leadership has shifted the company toward an authoritarian management style, characterized by a steady decline in employee benefits and compensation. Salary increases are negligible and fail to keep pace with inflation, leaving wages well below market standards. ​Key issues within the organization include: ​Leadership and Culture: CEO Menashe Horowitz is perceived as unreceptive to feedback, surrounding himself with inexperienced "yes-men." This has created an environment lacking genuine leadership. ​Work-Life Balance: Flexibility has been severely curtailed, including the elimination of remote-work Fridays. Furthermore, the company remains open on all U.S. federal holidays but closes for Jewish holidays, forcing employees to use their own paid time off (PTO) during those closures to avoid losing pay. ​Recruitment Challenges: Due to a wealth of negative reviews on platforms like Glassdoor, the company is struggling to attract qualified talent. ​Business Ethics: Management's operational practices are reportedly dishonest, utilizing aggressive "strong-arm" tactics with external vendors despite publicly claiming a commitment to transparency. ​Conclusion: While there was once a strong fondness for the company, its recent downward trajectory, stagnant wages, and poor treatment of staff indicate that it is no longer a viable place to work, making it time for employees to move on.
