Pros

They laid off the people who were pros, so I'm struggling to find some. If you like RTO they have an inflexible in-office policy that you can enjoy!

Cons

- CEO hires based on who he likes, not on qualifications. Leads to rude, incompetent people in important roles. - CEO throws temper tantrums in front of the whole company. - CEO cares more about his LinkedIn presence than the company and funnels immense resources into making himself look good, but then lays off dozens of people to cost-cut. - Performance is done on a forced bell-curve, so good luck if you're not a manager favorite! - Everyone is miserable, overworked, and underpaid. Except top leadership, but that's the case with all corporate America.

Pros

Good culture. People who worked at the company during my early tenure were friendly, communicative and eager for us all to succeed.

Cons

Many changes which occured with change of ownership of the company. I am unsure of the current culture since I have not worked with the organization in many years
