"They are amazing in many ways - liberal parental leave off, flexible timings, unlimited TTO, and a general culture of trust and belonging. There’s still a challenge with women getting promoted to leadership positions, especially top leadership, and a need to acknowledge and deal with bias head on. "

"If it is a job to fill in the blanks or for a little extra income, you might like it. Do not attempt to make a real living here as a freelancer ... they have cut pay and assignments to the point of needing food stamps to survive."

"DO NOT work for this company. The CEO is a misogynistic tyrant who throws temper tantrums and yells at colleagues (especially female ones) regularly. NO real efforts put into diversity. Leadership team and management is severely lacking in many ways. "
