Pros

Some nice people work there. The CEO Hilary is great, but the layers of management below are operating in a very old school hierarchical non-transparent way.

Cons

Lack of transparency. Lots of micromanagement. They will sell you on the vision of what the job could be in the interview process and then when you show up it is nothing like the job they described.

Pros

I work with diverse and supportive people. Teams and leaders demonstrate the will to respond to worker needs with kindness and respect. On the operational level, teams are highly flexible and adapt quickly to changes when provided proper support. Work-life balance is high priority for the people I interact with.

Cons

The company has difficulty holding on to talent in tech fields since a good chunk of the focus has to be allocated to art/design and production instead. CEOs come and go every few years, leading to instability. For some teams, the process remains overly complex and inefficient because of misalignments between leadership/engineering and ops team users. No formal humanist policy around AI & robotics yet.
