Pros

10% 401k match Remote work

Cons

Very bro-y culture — people in leadership aren’t really qualified as it’s just heavily referral based from the same type of backgrounds like Pivotal/VMware/Kessel Run. Claims to want to transform the government yet only fast tracks and hires people from said gov-type companies.

Pros

Been here for a few years, generally enjoyable and benefits are great. Has problems like any other company but the CEO is pretty awesome.

Cons

Very ambitious company so the goals can feel a bit insane sometimes, not really a con but the grind definitely isn't for everyone.

Pros

- 10% 401k matching - really smart coworkers - generous benefits

Cons

Beware the high ratings. CEO and leadership team told employees to rate R8 and inflate their own standing. It's a cult over here. - benefits are golden handcuffs - reactionary PIP culture - claims to "fire customers" if they're a bad fit, but puts employees in the line of fire - make you sign an "A-player agreement" when onboarding, which mostly is a CYA for them to hold you to nebulous standards and shifting goal posts. The initial offer and package seem dazzling, but the juice isn't worth the squueze. I've known 3 people either fired or left in the last 2 months who reported boss' lying saying there wasnt enough work for their role, only to see their job posted the next day. Way too many meetings, micromanaging, and leadership who thinks highly of their own impact. They have some home runs early on and kept riding that wave that is quickly falling flat. I would never recommend someone work here. Looking for a way out but this job market is awful.
