Pros

Great views from 59th floor. We HAD many smart software engineers on our teams (most are gone).

Cons

Problems/issues start at the very top / CEO level. Chaotic, irrational decision making process. No one knows or understands the direction company is going. Seems like everyone is looking to leave. 2017 already had two massive rounds of layoffs plus more likely to come. Folks are working 3 times harder for same compensation. You'll never hear "Thank You" or "Great Job". No loyalty, no honesty on all level of management. The only people who are NOT looking to leave are VPs who are likely grossly overpaid and will run this company into the ground just to get that $$$.

Pros

Remote work. Employees are nice.

Cons

Leadership. Primarily the CEO and his wife, the VP of Operations. Their decision making skills consist of speaking in word stew for 30 minutes straight, yelling at employees openly and publicly, and lacking the base-level knowledge needed to successfully navigate employment law. I have been working for over 30 years and I have never in my life experienced such a toxic duo in a leadership team. If you're curious as to how toxic it can be, just take a look at how many HR leaders they've ran through in the last several years. No one in their right mind would stay on board to be a patsy for their detrimental and many time illegal employment practices. Discrimination, racism, removal of employee benefits, etc. This place is a dumpster fire, and the if the CEO doesn't do something about it soon the company won't be able to dig itself out of the hole it's currently in.
