Pros

Able to work remotely and engineers are pretty solid here.

Cons

This company doesn’t value employees at all. Managers use hollow rhetoric to push people to contribute more, yet the payback is a pathetic 2% merit increase for meeting expectations. Leadership is clueless, blindly convincing themselves that their “all-in-one platform” is the ultimate solution, while the product is a complete mess. They keep boasting about double-digit revenue growth but refuse to disclose real numbers, a clear sign of how disconnected leadership is. There’s no clear guidance on future growth. This company definitely sinking ship.
