Pros

Good benefits and amazing PTO. Great team of friendly people to work with. The work environment is pretty cool and modern, which has the potential to be inspiring.

Cons

Management hire people and give them false impressions of their role and the potential within the company. Starting out there is minimal one on one training. Instead you are usually just thrown to the wolves and expected to learn everything you need to know by reviewing PDFs. Employees are expected to work longer hours as the norm and never given the opportunity to work shorter weeks when work is light. It's easy to get lost once you fulfill their needs. This company doesn't care about your abilities or your career path, and trying to reach out about new opportunities within the company just gets you into trouble. There are only a handful of people who get to do satisfying work. Most everyone else is banished to do role out work ad nauseum. The channels for communication are beyond broken, especially with the ever changing structure and titles within the company.

Pros

Everyone is really great to work with and the culture is great even being remote. Good projects for your resume.

Cons

They seem to do decent sized layoffs almost every quarter even if they know work will only slow down temporarily. They then reach out to hire you as a contractor when projects pick back up again and they are short staffed. It’s not a stable job by any means. I’ve coworkers who put more than 15 years into the company get laid off and then rehired as contract two months later. Horrible business model.
