Pros

Interplay's product is unique and impactful, and it feels good knowing you're improving the lives of the people who use it. Most employees are driven, passionate, and care about the success of each other and the company. Work/life balance is good and the company encourages people to take time off. Salary has improved over the years and is closer to industry standards.

Cons

While a lot of the people who work there are nice, the culture suffers from the toxicity often found in tech. As a woman, I was often interrupted and talked over (along with my female coworkers), and my numerous complaints were never handled properly. During my exit interview with the company, I was told that my concerns were never a priority because there were always more important issues that needed to be dealt with first. Other cons include no 401k match and less time off compared to other companies.

Pros

Remote work with the option to go into the office

Cons

They promote flexibility and work-life balance, but management doesn't actually follow through with that. Management is a cult and looks down on employees. Raises are non-existent. They will lay you off with no warning or PIP. No career adavncement opportunities.
