Pros

Great culture within the teams. Great product. Smart people.

Cons

All the recent reviews about the recent VP are correct. He is bringing in the well known AWS culture. Always pushing teams with stricter timelines. Tells you on the face that he doesn't want to hear 'No'. Engineers being transferred among projects without much thoughts. Everyone is feeling burnt out within few months of him coming onboard.

Pros

I started recently with the company. Overall, onboarding was smooth. I received lots of great communication and documentation. My laptop arrived early so I was able to be ready for my remote onboarding session. Everyone I spoke with was nice, professional, and genuinely seemed to like their jobs and the people with whom they work.

Cons

Remote onboarding is always tough for making people connections, but it was not bad. I did have some tech issues but they were addressed and resolved quickly.
