Pros

A handful of people are really great at their jobs and really great to work with. There are a couple of rockstars left that are the best in the business.

Cons

Where to start? Work life balance was non-existent. Some of the people and teams have no accountability to do their jobs well and no repercussions when a ball is dropped. It's exhausting for people who are actually working hard and doing their jobs well. No organization, no infrastructure, and no leadership. They grew so quickly and had no plan or structure to back it up at all. Brought in a CEO who is all talk, no experience. They would bend over backward to meet insane client deadlines with no pushback or concern for their workers. So much talk about culture and "we're a family" but that's only because you're there so much you don't see your real family. Drama, gossip, and toxicity abound. Just avoid at all costs.

Pros

Pay is fair for the industry. Some colleagues are genuinely great and try to make the best of a bad situation. Occasionally, interesting projects come through, though they’re often mishandled.

Cons

Leadership creates a demoralizing work environment. Condescension is the default communication style including public shaming for mistakes. Feedback is rarely constructive and often feels petty. Leaders regularly belittle annd undermine employees. Morale is low, and turnover is high for a reason. Senior “leaders” seem more interested in control and optics than in actually leading, supporting, or developing their teams.
