Pros

Remote friendly, mac laptops provided

Cons

The company has a recurring hire-and-fire cycle, which creates a sense of instability even after candidates go through multiple interview rounds. Performance evaluations often feel subjective and inconsistent, with feedback varying depending on management rather than being tied to clear, measurable expectations. The CPO's management style contributes significantly to this toxic environment. Leadership can be highly micromanaging, limiting engineers' autonomy and slowing decision-making.

Cadmus does a great job at caring about the people who work there. I always felt like my manager cared about me and wanted me to succeed.

Communication can get muddled sometimes, so it really depends on your manager.

Pros

Contractor Care: Working at Cadmus has been a great experience; the company treats me very well, offering great pay, flexible hours, and paid leave provisions that exceed industry standards. Another thing that I really appreciate is that when there was an increase in workload demand, I could see that management was doing everything to support me with additional devices, and even a care package straight from Australia! - People: The colleagues here are amazing as well. They are super welcoming, always willing to help, and experts in their fields! - Values-Led: Everyone in the company I spoke with believes in the mission and vision, creating a positive and motivating company culture.

Cons

The infrastructure for contractor management (invoicing, leave tracking, historical pay data) is currently decentralized. I miss the efficiency of the all-in-one HR dashboards used at my previous organization. That said, I have noticed positive steps toward streamlining these workflows recently.
