Pros

Salary, PTO, Work life balance

Cons

6 rounds of layoffs in the past 2 years. This company has zero direction and zero leadership. They are a sinking ship. They can have two choices, and they'll almost always pick the wrong one. They are moving to the 100% offshore model.

Hi Friend. Our reduction of force impacted many engineers and we are sorry you were impacted. These shifts are never easy, I assure you. It's always extremely difficult to part ways with amazing employees. We wish you the best in whatever comes next. Any business would be lucky to get you to join their team.

Pros

Some people are nice to work with

Cons

Culture of personality, not competency or meritocracy. Prepare for hysteria-inducing layers of upper management inadequacy and to be fired during a personal crisis as a karmic reward for loyalty to their unethical ways of operating - they have a pattern of firing people during health crises, family death, and other traumatic periods of their life to some of their most competent and capable employees. Do yourself a favor and google “Nextiva lawsuits” for just a peek into some of their standard operating procedures - and that’s just a small peek behind the curtain. Working here felt like a stain on my reputation and moral compass. They make asks of their employees that put them in compromising legal situations and management hides behind them when Goldman Sachs looks for fresh blood to let. They have a bleak moral compass and ineptitude in business strategy to boot - wouldn’t recommend joining this “winning” team to anyone unless they’re trying to flame out and waste years of their life trying to operate in a broken machine. Their cycle of hire and fire is embarrassing and shows that upper management is clueless but continues to punish those doing the work while maintaining a superiority complex that they’re not part of the problem. It makes me laugh thinking of their egos and how clueless and laughable they really are. It’s like a couple of kids got lucky building a business and the coat and top hat is falling off revealing 3 little kids stacked on each other’s shoulders while they demand respect without earning it.
