Pros

Very smart people, willing to spend money on investment projects, good renewed focus on data science and analytics.

Cons

More senior people don't tend to understand either the technical side or people management, they tend to be very commercially savvy, which is good but a lot of the time don't understand what their direct reports are doing or how to get the best out of them.

Pros

Great pay initially, especially after negotiating. People are very smart and willing to meet for networking and learning opportunities. Flexibility and work life balance is by far the best perk - especially since many roles are fully remote.

Cons

Merit raises have been subpar the last 4 years and do not come close to keeping with inflation, consistently the company cites great EBITDA growth but that never is shown in bonuses nor merit raises despite receiving “exceeds expectations” ratings. Parental leave is a nominal. Very easy to get “lost in the sauce” of such a large company.
