Pros

The company leaders (well their backers anyway) want revenue growth at any cost it seems. They focus on short-term growth without the distraction of quality employee experience.

Cons

As they pursue dna revenue, tech quality suffered. The leaders (who are mostly in SF) disparage "Utah HQ" and seek their own success over their employees.

Pros

Great company culture, supportive team, smooth onboarding process, strong career stability, and meaningful work. My interview experience was very positive, and the recruiting and onboarding teams were helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process.

Cons

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
