Pros
  • Flexible remote work policy.
  • Nice office for those who prefer a hybrid or in-office setup.
Cons

The APEX performance review system creates a toxic environment. Managers are overloaded with too many direct reports, which limits their ability to effectively support and develop team members.

Advice to Management

Get rid of APEX and stack ranking. It’s clearly having no effect on the stock price.
