Pros

1. Small enough where cross-silo collaboration is still somewhat possible. 2. Benefits (unlimited PTO) and time spent on team building events is great. 3. New focus on Compass Point oriented OKRs is what we need to be successful for the future.

Cons

1. Culture has deteriorated to the point where those of us who don't align with certain political or worldviews are clearly no longer part of the conversation. Culture is trending towards accept what you disagree with or you're not going to be all that welcome here. 2. Too many hold-over employees from our pre IPO days who don't have the necessary skills to continue an upward trajectory in the current business paradigm. 3. Egos and positions are too often driving conversations instead of an evidence based approach to what we work on and why. 4. Insufficient comprehension of what true business agility is resulting in a silod (for engineering only) approach in turn exacerbating problems that limit our ability to scale.

Pros

Great design team, very integrated with the product, marketing, and dev teams. Also good UX research team.

Cons

Product owners did not have BAs to help them so they were overwhelmed with work.

Pros

Remote work, expensive family benefits, cool coworkers

Cons

If you really wanna go through life on hard mode, choose Alkami. It is dysfunctional on the surface, but as you peel through the layers, you'll see that it's actually rotten on the inside. Everything's a mess. Every page is a bug. The company is one lawsuit away from total shutdown!
