Pros

- Good health benefits. - Talented, smart peers who genuinely want to do good work.

Cons

- Required RTO 3 days a week with little flexibility on which days (mandatory to go in Mon, Tues, Thurs) - The CXO extended leadership team is toxic and focused only on pleasing the SVP. Employee growth, morale, and experience are consistently deprioritized. - Employee engagement surveys are collected twice a year, scores keep declining, but leadership takes no meaningful action to improve the employee experience. - A significant amount of time is spent creating goals, but priorities constantly change, leaving teams scrambling to adjust. This leads to burnout from chasing shifting targets, and then employees are blamed when goals inevitably aren’t met. With everything treated as “high priority,” it’s unclear what the real focus actually is. - High turnover and burnout are the direct result of lack of support, unclear priorities, and leadership misalignment. - No 401k match, which is disappointing for a company of this size.

Pros

René is the only pros here :)

Cons

The CTO selection appears misaligned with the company’s future technology needs. The organization requires leadership that combines strategic vision with hands-on understanding of modern architectures, AI-driven development practices, and high-velocity engineering execution. Although the candidate may have delivered meaningful contributions earlier in their career, recent outcomes raise concerns about their ability to drive technological agility. The systems and frameworks developed under their direction became cumbersome to maintain, with even minor modifications requiring disproportionate effort and extended delivery timelines. This level of engineering inefficiency is a significant warning sign for a technology leader responsible for accelerating innovation and execution. René Bill has already paid a heavy price for this, else today it would have been better positioned :( Given the pace of change in today’s technology landscape, the company would be better served by a CTO who can balance architectural rigor with adaptability, speed, and forward-looking technical vision.
