Pros

Allows remote work, if you do go into the office there is a lot of space, privacy, and snacks.

Cons

Terribly disconnected and sneaky leadership team, awful stripped-down benefits packages, lower comp than the same position at every other tech company in CO. Be prepared to find out that your valued coworkers have been let go at random throughout any given quarter of the fiscal year, and that management has not delegated any of their work to remaining employees leaving you in a complete lurch and unable to do your job. You are NEVER safe from layoffs despite what they may tell you. Prepare for an absolutely soul sucking experience on this sinking ship of obsolete tech! Happy I left before my wonderful coworkers had to go through the terrible experience of layoffs.

Pros

Flexible schedules Unlimited PTO Good people to work with

Cons

Look at the dates on the positive reviews. Many don't come past 2019. The past 3 years have made landmark shift in a once great company: Management doesn't really understand the product Power struggles and bad politics at the mid and upper management level Poorly defined and constantly changing direction Falling behind on the competitive field No real diversity at the company, they have tried but for some reason it's still very pale. No clearly defined career path The company used to be great. Something happened in management that created a power grab/struggle environment so all of the rest of the employees became pawns in weird games of who can hold more sway over the direction of the company. This caused the company to lose its focus. Eventually the concept of leadership disintegrated. There is know one to look to for an answer except yourself, and you better hope that answer doesn't upset someone. Some element of the company never allowed teams to grow in accordance with the demands of the products. People ended up overworked, and silenced when they were just trying to offer solutions. Salary fell behind pretty rapidly over the past two years also, and excuses were made, but no compensation offered. Bonus were once commonplace, but political wording and game playing made them far less frequent and harder to achieve.

Pros

Unlimited PTO and decent health insurance coverage.

Cons

Look, this used to be a great company two years with some really wonderful people. They are all gone now. They've either been laid off, quit or were fired under the guise they "chose to move on". The investor came in, and now it's your typical corporate hell void of any sincere, authentic human connection with people who do not understand the product or how to market it, but like to believe they are experts on any subject. I would advise that you read the reviews here and find a company you would actually enjoy working for. You are never desperate enough to sacrifice your happiness and mental health for a job. This company is on a karmic wheel you don't want in your life.
