Pros

The engineers and up through mid level management here are top notch people who have a passion for building good products. The hours are flexible which makes interviewing elsewhere easy.

Cons

Too much work and too much attrition coupled with a deaf dumb and blind C block have led to an environment that is hemorrhaging top talent and leaders. The only people left are those that care too much about what it was to realize its no longer possible to rebuild. Myself included. Pay is miserable. Changes are made to compensation structures on short notice and communicated poorly in addition to being not well defined. The new management does not have a problem with crushing developers under short sighted decisions.

Pros

Culture was amazing before it was acquired by private equity.

Cons

The culture was great (before private equity), which made career advancement a game of social politics.
