Pros

Decent 401k and medical benefits

Cons

Leadership terrible, misguided, untrustworthy: they back peddled on remote work after consistently saying they support. Forcing all employees to RTO within a month regardless of where nearest office is. Top many older, unknowledgeable managers that don't know anything about engineering. Engineers don't prioritize retaining customers and fixing customer-facing issues. Too much emphasis on catch terms/words to sell something instead of delivering quality for the use case.

Pros

At this point? None honestly.

Cons

They did a complete 180 since I got hired. Came in as remote during COVID and now that they forced most people back to the office, they made us 3rd class citizens in the company. Can't get a raise, a promotion, any spiffs or even the same contests that the people in the office do. This company does not keep promises and has been constantly doing workforce reductions ever year like clockwork for 4 years now. The COO Jeff Clarke is an absolute clown as well, you have to go into the office dressed as business casual, but this guy goes to One Dell World in undersized lame t-shirts every year. Hypocrisy at all levels of this company. Just looking for a good opportunity and I am out, after talking to my co workers I feel like 70-80% feel the same. The tools also suck and are down half the time as well.
