Aimless Company

Business outlook

Pros

Good benefits, to the point of ridiculousness. Why would anyone need an allowance for pumpkin carving supplies during Halloween? Focus on keeping your talent over useless things like this.

Cons

The company keeps changing their direction every few months. This includes constant restructurings, with no clarity as to why. They spend so much money on the stupidest things (like a book benefit that no one uses), rather than focusing on retaining and using good talent.

Business outlook

Pros

Small teams, exposure to company wide tech stack

Cons

Avoid the security organization. Security management un supportive of growth of employee, Security management has very unclear expectations of teams, not a good communication when it comes to understanding Infra security and SecOps talent needs. Not to mention low end of the year incentives.
