Pros

Very generous compensation and benefits/perks. People are nice and motivated.

Cons

Poor onboarding experience, multiple salary and title changes after signing offer. Working overtime is expected due to endless backlog of tickets and poor project management.

Thank you for your comments. We're very glad to hear you liked the culture and your teammates. And as important as it is to feel satisfied with your salary and benefits, we never like hearing you had a poor onboarding experience and felt you worked too many hours overall. We are always striving to create a balanced working environment for our people, and good PMing is an important part of that. We'll continue to do our best to cultivate a supportive culture and push for a fair work-life balance among all of our people.

Pros

Remote work culture Is excellent, innovative tech, company's growth and opportunities to protect clients. Felt fortunate to have worked for this organization that has a strong growth tragectoruy and protects clients.

Cons

Manager/Director level: Poor communication from team manager/director, with little to no direction and the lack of team morale. Team members were on their own after training and most meetings could've been an email. The presence of the director was the equivalent of a virtual bulletin board. No ownership was taken from management to lead or guide the team and no sense of loyalty exists between management and team members. Good talent was squandered due to complacency and lack of direction. Company: Con for the company is the unfortunate lay offs that happened after leaving the company. It's a shame they laid off veterans from my former team. The writing on the wall was apparent, from outsourced new hires to the non-competitive compensation for newer hires. The company went from a fun and competitive start up to a disconnected company trying to emulate tech industry trends and "balances the budget" AKA lay offs, to look good to share holders. For a company that nets huge profits year after year, layoffs shouldn't be part of the reality.
