Pros

There used to be a lot of talented individuals at First Orion who I loved working with. Projects were interesting and one received a ton of autonomy to build solutions to solve real problems.

Cons

To echo what a previous reviewer wrote, there is absolutely a bad apple in management and everyone knows who it is, but they are not about to go anywhere. The company is literally bleeding engineers because of it. As long as this person is in charge, the engineering team will be ran straight into the ground.

Pros

FO is definitely a “people first” company. I absolutely love the atmosphere, and couldn’t see myself anywhere else but here.

Cons

Nothing to add here. Love it!

Pros

Incredibly talented people across the company. Great opportunities for learning and growth. Flexible workplace and great culture with a "people first" focus! Appreciate the weekly company meetings with updates/transparency on what's happening across the company!

Cons

Being a tech company, we have to move fast. Not a "con" unless someone doesn't like change.
