Pros

Typical tech/SaaS/startup environment... snacks for days, fancy water/coffee machines that make anything you could dream up, free lunch, massage chairs, swag to make people feel proud, fancy meeting rooms, ability to work from any office or remote.

Cons

Upper management cannot explain comp plans to save themselves. This is a sales role... sales people like MONEY and knowing how they're able to earn that. If you can't explain how targets and attainment works, how can anyone stay motivated or want to stay? This was easily the biggest mess of a company I've experience, that's too big to fail with government contracts, and perks thrown at employees that makes them second guess wanting to leave. This place also favors the typical woke culture you'd expect and they sexualize the workplace (call it what it is) and favor certain groups while stomping on others. My building was wrapped in a giant rainbow, every window and door had a rainbow decal placed on it, and a work floor loaded with TVs promoted very "colorful" events - it was a VERY celebrated office space. Christian, Conservative, etc... beware of your values being stomped on like mine were. This place also

Pros

Salary is competitive, culture tries to promote inclusion in terms of gender, race, etc.

Cons

HR is not active in providing help and solutions. It is an automated system and when you do ask for personal guidance they do not provide solutions but suggest that you use Bravely a company supplied life coaching service. Employee voice and input is limited to a survey once a quarter, the results of which do not seem to have impact. Managers do not understand the products and have no technical experience which makes the performance review awkward since they do not understand the work you do, Promotions seem very limited as they tend to hire from external sources so as a employee you do get stuck in the same role year after year.
