Pros

• Remote • Decent Benefits and Pay

Cons

• Senior Executives with huge egos. Notice all the recent 5 star reviews from them; a collective effort to skew their Glassdoor reviews. • Very little gender and/or racial diversity. As others have pointed out, ALL engineers are males and the rest of the company is dominated by white men. • Discrimination. I was in countless meetings where I was the only female and could barely get a word in. If I did, I would usually be rudely interrupted / have my ideas and input minimized by senior leaders who seemed completely unaware of their gaslighting behavior. • No autonomy + No trust. The only UI/UX designer in the company was told MORE THAN ONCE that her designs were "childish" and "basic" before having them thrown out in favor of designs made by the longstanding male executives. She barely ever got any design concepts approved, even though she would have helped us greatly elevate and modernize the products. • Chaos. There is no respect for a Product Development Life Cycle. Instead, half-baked ideas are tossed over the fence to development teams. • Distrust and Fear. People here generally are on edge and seem scared of making mistakes in the name of innovation. I blame this on the longstanding upper executives who hoard product knowledge, don't train new hires, don't listen to new ideas, etc. When some team members would push for business requirements, priorities, and company goals and strategies, they were seen as problematic employees. One person on my team was actually fired for continually trying to push for product requirement clarity and alignment.

Pros

The company has been in a transitional period for the last 18 months building a new platform, while improving it's legacy offering and has achieved some impressive stats around accuracy and speed. Impressive roster of clients with low attrition.

Cons

Challenging regulatory environment and enterprise offering make it hard to obtain new clients, quickly.

Pros

Remote work, low expectations, stock options, benefits

Cons

Racism, sexism, ableism There is a reason every time they lay people off or someone leaves for the awful environment it is often a minority and the company has become more and more homogeneous as time has gone on.
