Fast-paced working environment (not necessarily a con, but have to stay on your feet)

The ability to work remotely.

Since the arrival of the new CEO, Praerit Garg, in September, the company culture has shifted to a highly toxic environment. The CEO operates with a high‑control, top‑down leadership style characterized by micromanagement, limited trust in others, and a belief that his perspective is the default “correct” one. Rather than leveraging the expertise of his executives, he tends to dictate decisions, override input, and centralize authority, often inserting himself into operational details that should be delegated. His approach signals a conviction that he alone has the full picture, which creates a dynamic where dissent is discouraged and alignment is achieved through compliance rather than collaboration. His style can come across as dismissive which reduces the willingness of leaders to surface risks or alternative viewpoints. As a result, many of the most skilled and experienced executives have left the company over the past 6 months. This year, for the first time since I have worked at the company, they will not be paying employees an annual bonus. For many employees, the bonus can represent as much as 15-30% of their compensation. Strong performers across areas were told this month that they would not even receive merit increases, affecting the already low morale in the organization. Many have begun their job search seeking an organization where they can work with an empowering management that values their expertise, invests in their career growth, respects diverse ideas, and creates a positive work environment.
