Pros

Fair-ish salary, there are a few talented people left, the products are cool if you're into that.

Cons

The current CEO, who is also the owner, started making some serious changes in the last 6-9 months: forced the previous CEO out, slashed our benefits (worse healthcare, much lower 401k match, diminished PTO, no remote work, less flexibility, etc.). Not sure if the goal was to force attrition to avoid the optics of firing or to avoid paying severance, but it worked. The problem is that the ones who leave first are the best and most qualified since it's easier for them to find good gigs. We have been hemorrhaging talent, and when it's actually replaced, it's replaced with not great people. Even that is better than when they don't backfill and expect more from the current team. Unfortunately, I do expect this to continue, especially since they keep bringing in sub-par people. Mediocrity begets mediocrity. This wasn't a stellar company by any means before all this, but in comparison to what it is now, it sure looks like one in retrospect. Oh, and btw, Chris Ahern is no longer the CEO as this page says.

Pros

Decent benifits and pay and a lot of cool people worked there

Cons

Poorly managed by the higher ups. Also a lot of us were hired under the understanding that it is a hybrid job and we would work from home half the week. They quickly changed it from hybrid to an 8-5 job and we weren’t given any flexibility under the new management when the company sold.
