Pros

Great perks, in office lunch, amenities, competitive pay, etc.

Cons

A few past examples - Management is very buddy buddy giving positions to people who are more connected and less qualified. HR is more concerned with if they like you and your demographic versus if you actually did something wrong. They can find a way to show you the exit if they don’t like you.

Pros

Good pay, I cannot think of anything else

Cons

The worst company you could work for. Toxic environment, management is unprofessional and corrupt. People get promoted because they are friends with their manager and not based on performance. There is no transparency, employees get lied to all the time. People are getting fired on a weekly basis, but the company doesn't call it layoffs just so they won't have to compensate accordingly or explain to the investors, so they let great employees go and say it's because of performance (and lie about the circumstances). and finally, the CEO is the worst - thinks he is a king or something, and is petty about tiny things that make no difference to anyone. Do yourself a favor, save yourself and stay away, the money doesn't worth it. You are welcome.

Pros

Being able to go to New York for Bootcamp and Las Vegas for MKO was a great experience. There were other perks such as private healthcare and social events.

Cons

It's just another corporate souless company. Getting rid of half the workforce by looking over their shoulder and seeing what the rest are doing. Now that wave is over, everything is rosey again and more people being sent to bootcamp. No matter what they say, you are just a number at this company and there is no "OB Family", despite the speel you may here. You are a disposable employee, so just live with it, and enjoy the free stuff you get along the way.

We’re glad to hear you enjoyed MKO and our Bootcamp program. Both of these events are big opportunities for connection and collaboration among our team members. We are always finding new and exciting perks to offer our employees. One of our most recently implemented perks is our summer hours. When it comes to authenticity, we encourage everyone to bring their whole self to work. One of our major initiatives is building trust through transparency, and we’re working to do this on all levels in different ways. One of which is anonymously surveying our employees to see how they feel about and what they want from the company. In fact, our summer hours, work in our communities, and enhanced benefits came from feedback we received just last month. We will continue to listen to our employee’s transparent feedback and make changes accordingly.
