Pros

Market leading products. Great total comp: salary + bonus + RSUs + ESPP (15% discount, 2 year lookback) Mega backdoor Roth IRA supported for super retirement investors. Growing company means more opportunities for promotions.

Cons

Management makes public announcements before confirming with those who are tasked to do the work if what was announced is feasible. So, often project timelines are determined by announcement and then everyone has to figure out how to meet that deadline instead of internally figuring out how long it would take to do something and then making a public announcement based on that analysis. Benefits are very weak compared to other tech companies: 401k match, philanthropy match, medical copay, dental copay, holidays, spot bonuses, financial value of team and individual awards, fitness benefits. Make sure your total comp is high enough so that the cheap benefits don't bother you.

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.
