Pros

Competitive salary for most, or at least it used to be that way. Hybrid work.

Cons

Yikes.... run away quickly. You have to log your hours every week, and almost always have to work overtime. Leadership operates in a tight knit clique yet none of them have any business acumen at all. Politics are a very clear unfortunate part of the workplace with Fox News on the TV all the time. There are so many immature people in leadership positions that can't get along with one another or their direct reports. Not to mention the several pairs of father/son or family members working together and crazy favoritism. If you're not related to leadership- don't worry! You just have to be young and blonde, and you'll become a fast favorite. Promotion opportunities are a joke and just meant to placate you so you don't leave. You may get a raise or a new title but your responsibilities stay the same. But by that point, you're locked into such a niche tech stack that you can't leave anyway. They have done at least one round of layoffs in 2025, and people were resigning left and right when I left. RUN.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very happy to hear that you find the pay and benefits to be good! We work hard to offer a competitive compensation package, and your validation is appreciated. We understand your comment about our interview process being "really picky." We recognize that our process can be viewed as picky, and that's by design—it allows us to thoroughly assess for soft skills, technical skills, cultural fit, and long-term fit. Given that our teams work with a variety of different technologies, verticals, and different teams internally and externally, we set a high bar to ensure we're bringing on individuals who will thrive in that environment. We will continue to evaluate our process to ensure it is as transparent and efficient as possible, while still maintaining the quality standards that are essential to our success. Thanks again for the feedback, it's great to see how it's all viewed. - Team Zirous
