Pros

Free coffee and not much else.

Cons

I moved to Oregon for my role. I’ve been here for a few years now. Everything sounded great during interview and speaking with employees, but I get here and it’s so sloppy. There are junior issues that no one knows how to handle, so they become larger issues. There is a serious lack of know-how here and it’s really frustrating. Yesterday our internet went out and no one knew what to do because the management team here is terrible at basic communications. Do we go home, do we work with personal hot spots, do we have any updates or plans? No. It’s just Busch league.

Pros

Great salary and team! The interview process was smooth and effective.

Cons

To be determined, but so far many alignment meetings. Some folks have frustuations around the re-org and strategy changes.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
