Pros

- The people are fun to work with. Very friendly environment.

Cons

- Awfully noisy work environment (open floor office). Seem to believe that it helps communication yet are fine letting managers have their own offices. In my experience, they do not help communication since they make everyone more irritable/stressed. - Technical debt is through the roof. Its incredible how fragile everything is at the moment. - Due to technical debt and under-staffing you end up doing overtime. They tout their work/life balance as being great but this is just disconnected from reality. - Not rewarded for going the extra mile due to limits placed by execs on raises. There is also a no overtime policy, so you end up doing unpaid overtime. - Execs do not understand the importance of QA. If you don't QA your own code get ready to be blamed for issues that happen in production environments. There is no automated testing practice in project teams and thus if you inherit someone else's project you're in for a "fun" time. - There is no real operations team and instead developers are expected to do the work.

Pros

-Remote flexibility helps with work-life balance. -Opportunities to gain experience quickly because of constant re-orgs and turnover.

Cons

•Leadership often lacks experience and relies heavily on micromanagement rather than trust. Instead of inspiration, fear tactics and scolding are often enacted. •Nepotism is noticeable, with promotions appearing to go to family or friends rather than based on performance. •The culture feels toxic. Many employees operate under a constant fear of termination, which has eroded morale. •The product is difficult to stand behind, creating frustrating conversations with customers. •Turnover is so high that it feels like the company is always in “training mode,” which adds stress to the workload. •From the inside, sales momentum appears to be slowing, and it often feels like the company is in decline rather than growth. •Everything feels reactionary and desperate. Leadership decisions often come across as short-term fixes rather than long-term strategy. Burnout and workload due to aged tech and heavy processes is obvious.
