Pros

Was a great place to work until mid of last year.

Cons

- Crappy leadership - No new opportunities - high gender bias - All female leadership is out of the company - High on favoritism - only the people who ‘know’ the ceo will work in the company (no interviews necessary for them) - faux job postings

Stressful Environment

Business outlook

Pros

- Competitive pay and benefits - Good grow and learning opportunities

Cons

- Work life balance - Stressful workplace - Limited Creativity We've been implementing the OKRs model for a few quarters now. The leadership is fixated on achieving their OKRs quickly, which means they're pushing for features to be completed ASAP. However, they also expect bug-free releases simultaneously, which seems nearly impossible. Meeting their expectations often requires working extra hours. Unfortunately, our tech foundation isn't very strong, as the codebase originated from a dev shop as an MVP. Despite the team's ability to quickly fix issues, the codebase is now quite fragile due to added layers of complexity. The leadership wants fewer bugs but is reluctant to invest time in refactoring code, which isn't directly aligned with any OKRs. This approach risks creating delays in the future that they may not yet realize.

People are leaving right & left!

Pros

I really don’t have many ‘Pros’ anymore! Perks: office stipend, $100/month “wellness” spend, pay is competitive This past year Roo underwent a CEO change. With this change in leadership came unrelenting hours of meetings, fierce competitiveness amongst staff as the new leader brings in buddies from all his past companies, far-fetched expectations about what will get accomplished quarter and quarter and more.

Cons

7-8 hours of meetings at times, no time to get actual work done during your normal workday. Many people gripe about having to work through their evenings to get ready for yet another day of meetings. Aggressive behavior from coworkers in order to preserve their job. People are all talking about leaving or actually leaving. Some without any notice.
