Pros

Amazing work/life balance, great benefits, legitimately good company culture. My coworkers are all very nice and I like working with them.

Cons

I don't really agree with how they do promotions. Doesn't really feel empowering for lower level employees. I do not feel as if I have control of when or if I get promoted. My manager and I agree that I am exemplifying the role of a more senior role, but it feels out of both of our control. Pay could be higher as well.

Pros

Nice office environment with free food and drinks available. The gym and company perks are a nice bonus. There are also some genuinely good people on the team who make the workplace more enjoyable.

Cons

Management can feel overly political, and some managers appear to give more attention and opportunities to favorites rather than treating employees consistently. While the company talks about supporting mental health, the day-to-day culture does not always reflect that message. There is also growing uncertainty about long-term job stability as AI becomes more integrated into the work.
