Pros

Having been with MNTN for a considerable duration, I've observed significant changes over the years and have been privy to much of the behind-the-scenes dynamics. Here's a summary of my overall experience: - I've experienced excellent career and salary growth. - Enjoyed substantial autonomy and trust in executing tasks in my preferred manner. - Opportunities to acquire and implement a wide array of new technologies. - Worked alongside remarkable individuals who have been supportive colleagues, mentors, and close friends. - Enjoyed a healthy work/life balance. - Engaged in fantastic company events facilitating remote socialization. - Our VP of Engineering demonstrates exceptional competence in his role. - Witnessed a steady expansion of the engineering organization, with well over 100 team members now. Conclusion: While acknowledging imperfections, I find MNTN to be the best company I've worked for thus far. Barring significant cultural shifts, I foresee myself continuing to work here.

Cons

- Lack of a clear career ladder may hinder advancement opportunities. - Lack of yearly salary increases tied to performance can be a drag in the high inflationary environment we are living in. - Company drama, predominantly within sales and HR teams, is not uncommon, reflecting the competitive sales environment; however, it's less than ideal. Success often depends on being in the right sales team, targeting a receptive market, and meeting or exceeding quotas. - Product development inefficiencies and shifting priorities pose challenges in the software development process, though there's gradual improvement in this area.

Pros

My team was genuinely so smart and kind, and working alongside them was one of the highlights of my time here. MNTN meets were well organized and fun. Benefits package is competitive (though salary is not). Good work life balance. Very family oriented.

Cons

Career growth here has very little to do with the quality of your work and is driven almost entirely by politics: who you’re aligned with, how well you manage up, and whether you’re in the right social circle. Different perspectives are routinely dismissed, even when they come from the person with the most relevant domain expertise. Leaders with big egos have cultivated a culture where agreement is rewarded and constructive feedback is not. Strategy shifts are constant and poorly communicated, creating lots of thrash and leaving teams perpetually reactive instead of focused. No raises unless you’re promoted which they also don’t do often.
