Thanks for leaving your review and feedback. The past year brought many unexpected changes to our industry, which forced us to make tough decisions. We also acknowledge that scaling our business created some operational challenges. With that being said, we’re actively working to improve our internal structures and processes to maximize clarity, growth, and success for our teams and business moving forward, and it’s great to see over-achievement in 2021. - Sam Zales, President & Chief Operating Officer

Pros

Nice office environment with free food and drinks available. The gym and company perks are a nice bonus. There are also some genuinely good people on the team who make the workplace more enjoyable.

Cons

Management can feel overly political, and some managers appear to give more attention and opportunities to favorites rather than treating employees consistently. While the company talks about supporting mental health, the day-to-day culture does not always reflect that message. There is also growing uncertainty about long-term job stability as AI becomes more integrated into the work.
