Pros

- Strong focus on taking care of employees during COVID-19. No layoff promise is huge. - Competitive compensation and benefits - Departments collaborating well together to meet customer and employee needs during COVID - Working well remotely - we have what we need to do our jobs and the leadershp stance on easing back into the office, taking a look at remote work policies again is great - Team members who care about each others well being

Cons

- Fast-paced culture can cause churn at times. Operates like a very large startup - priorities constantly shifting and resources aren't always available to do all of the things we want to do. Prioritization needs work. - Some leaders don't have experience in their given areas - lots of promotion from Sales. Need more diversity in leadership, especially additional folks from other successful tech/software companies within the business. This will be important as we look to move more and more to digital due to COVID-19.

Pros

It used to be a good company who made a premium product, with smart coworkers, interesting tasks that involved a lot of math problems, with detailed code reviews. It still has generous PTO, sick days and a discounted lunch (in Raleigh office).

Cons

Management changed and there is an ongoing optimisation with hidden layoffs / force quits with no severance. Biased performance reviews with high expectations. Frequent goal changes and useless projects that will eventually be terminated and the whole team will be shuffled or dismissed. Complete delivery mess. Left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. Knowledge transfer sucks. The only way to understand the feature is to dig into the code (bad for newbies). New unqualified and arrogant low-level managers and team-leads, hide their uselessness on endless meetings, blah-blah-blahing with no real impact just to add visibility. A lot of stress, 5 days from office in an open space with no remote option even for new parents. The base is low with no stocks. Pro-Russian company, previously based in Moscow, relocated the whole office to the US and Europe due to sanctions during Russian-Ukrainian war (they recently laid-off a few Ukrainian guys).
