Pros

Good work culture, visionary leadership steering things in the right direction. Flexible work setting. Surrounded by wonderful and helpful people.

Cons

Looking at old reviews from over 5 years ago seems like the were paying competitive salaries back then, but it looks like they never scaled up as the rest of the industry steered up. The salaries are now at the lower tier of the market, you’ll always make 10-15% below average for a software engineer with same years of experience. False claims of doing market research to keep “competitive pay”. The management is always under a tight budget and does not have a lot of control over raises.

Pros

I highly value the autonomy I am given to manage my own workload, and I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with several of my talented colleagues.

Cons

That independence comes at a cost. The company is incredibly disorganized and siloed. Management will force lateral moves on you without asking; I've ended up balancing four different roles with absolutely no pay increase. Requests for fair compensation compared to the peers I trained were completely ignored. Territories change constantly, but zero training is provided. You are essentially left entirely on your own to figure it out.
