Pros

Stable environment with flexible 40-work week Suitable for those seeking a low-stress, laid-back atmosphere Diligent colleagues who are consistent and reliable in their roles Minimal pressure and rarely any need for overtime

Cons

The tech stack is outdated, making it challenging for those looking to work with modern technologies The overall environment feels old-fashioned, lacking innovation and dynamism Limited opportunities for career growth or learning new skills The team consists mostly of B/C players, so don't expect to be surrounded by top-tier talent Colleagues who have been with the company for 7-8 years are doing the same thing, leading to stagnant thinking and resistance to good changes or slow adaptation to anything new Management is heavily focused on acquisitions to gain market share and industry access, but there seems to be no clear strategy for integrating the acquired teams or technologies Department heads adamantly disregard current market data and dictate compensation payouts from outdated benchmarks (from the (90s), leading to dissatisfaction and pay disparity There are cool sounding company values, but no one walks the talk, including the management Not the place for those who thrive on challenges and high-paced work environments

Pros

They pay decently well and have pretty good benefits The ones who do well there, do VERY well there and stay for a long time. You just have to be the right fit

Cons

This was not a good environment for me, but it might be okay for other people. And there are really incredible people who work there. That being said: Work related: - Little to no training to set you up for success - No constructive feedback until it's too late - It used to be more laid back for getting stuff done but as they're growing they're implementing strict processes that can block you. I get that it's necessary to put those into place early, but not to this extent Environment related: - It's portrayed as a very easy-going place where everyone is friends, but everyone gossips - Negative feedback is never given upfront by the person who is complaining, or who they're complaining to. It's usually from someone who heard it from them and then "just wanted to give you a heads up" - Don't share any personal information, and don't add anyone that you think you're friends with on social media. Guarantee it'll be shared with the entire company within the day - Boys club mentality
