Pros

Small company with flexible work environment. The employee core is solid.

Cons

Who is running this company? Thought it was getting better but was just smoke and mirrors. A Christmas party, ping pong table, and some fresh paint doesn't cancel the fact that we have no real business direction. Seems like the new CEO's agenda is to save his old cohorts from his old company. Sound familiar? Same old story. Major lack of trust in current management. A lack of professionalism is rampant throughout the company. Three employee's were fired today with no explanation. Three people in one day at a small company is a huge deal. Is this a layoff? If the goal of these layoffs was to move the company forward then management once again missed the opportunity to clear the organization of the cancers within that lack passion and teamwork and use attitude and arrogance to drive personal agendas through pea-cocking and back stabbing. Again look at the management and their abuse of power. Be very cautious.

Unlimited PTO Awesome Co-workers & management

Cons

Brinks bought them, fired a good majority of the people during restructuring even though the teams were already completely overworked.

Pros

Work life balance is good. PTO is unlimited, but not really, it is 6 weeks(which is still really good).

Cons

The UI team consisted of about 6 people, with two of them being team leads. One team lead would manage 2 people, the other would manage the other two. That would lead to heavy micro managing. That wouldn't be so bad if the team didn't consist of people with heavy egos and are dead set in their ways. It is often their way or the highway there. Prepare for a lot of meetings with little to no contributions from the team. I've never been on a team before where I encounter so much conflict and passive aggressiveness. I eventually became so beat down and tired of everyday that I started to even reflect if I wanted to continue a career in software. The pay was decent, compared to most salaries in 2025 it is below or average. In the three years I work there I don't know if I ever saw anything I helped work on go to production. Every project was either scrapped or just forgotten about. But by far the worst con had to be the UI team as a whole being like you are in a toxic relationship. It will eventually make you toxic too,
