We celebrate that people have lives outside work.

Review from Customer Success Dept · Posted 9 days ago

You are only asking for positive feedback. I would love to comment on the hours being worked. It is insane and the expectation is that every person should be working around the clock on multiple #1 priorities, going above and beyond all the time. It is overly intense in my opinion.

My coworkers are the most positive aspect

Review from Finance Dept · Posted 11 days ago

Overall the culture has been slowly dying. We are getting rid of events that prompt the culture and values within the Engineering department and not giving credit to those who are trying to maintain the culture; it seen as a distraction since it provides no direct value to business deliverables.

Review from Engineering Dept · Posted 11 days ago

Plenty of opportunities to interact with coworkers outside the of the work day

Review from Customer Success Dept · Posted 12 days ago

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Unreasonable expectations of speed to execute considering processes, their minimum acceptable standards are only achievable with working 10-12 hour days.

Review from HR Dept · Posted 16 days ago

work/life balance should be better. 30 vacation days instead of 25 would make a huge differnce. Most of my team members have that 30 days already. Not sure why this is not a standard.
