Great lifestyle company

Senior manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great lifestyle company; ability to work from home is widely accepted and there is no facetime. Sabbatical program is highly touted and encourages employees to stay for long periods of time -- 6 wks off every 4 years.

Cons

PTO policy is stingy. When I was there you got 10 days PTO per year. There are forced shutdown weeks to save costs, and you must use your PTO balance for those forced shutdown days/weeks and/or go without pay.
