Pros

Initially seems like a good company until you work there for a while. Talks the talk

Cons

You soon realise that ability has nothing to do with progression. It's all to do with who you know, and how much you want to suck up to them. Poor products that could be good if they weren't constantly hiring young people with no experience but lots of enthusiasm. Enthusiasm to put up with poor management, and try to reinvent the wheel when it was working very nice beforehand, thank you. A voice of clarity and reason is seen as dissent - become a yes man and you may do well, but at what cost.

Pros

I get to work from home and have a grand-fathered in unlimited PTO policy. And that's about it.

Cons

RUN. This is just a horrible company to work for. Either you are living in constant fear of being fired or you are so overworked you feel like you have to work 60 hours a week just to do the bare minimum. The CEO, Andrea, is just gutting everything, doing mass layoffs over and over again. He has no clear visit for the company, goal posts keep changing, and everyone is setup to fail.
