Pros

-pay is very competitive -promotions are quick for those who go beyond -amazing learning opportunities from very smart people -management genuinely cares about career growth of employees

Cons

-management is obsessed with meeting sprint requirements, even when they made mistakes in estimating difficulty -the burden of their mistakes falls on the engineers, making for many stressful late nights & weekends trying to meet these arbitrary deadlines to avoid being fired or put on a “performance improvement plan”

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. One of our core values is individual empowerment, initiative and ownership and we strive to empower employees and scrum teams to estimate the time required to complete their projects, as opposed to managers setting arbitrary deadlines without context. If employees ever feel like these expectations are unrealistic, we encourage them to speak with their manager or director to re-evaluate. -Kat

Pros

- Very strong mentorship program - Very nice people - Some VERY good engineers, PMs, and designers

Cons

- Pay isn't competitive outside of Utah (but hey, at least we're hiring) - Like most other companies at our size, your success and satisfaction largely depend on the team you're on - Sales and product/eng could probably be better aligned to inform product decisions - Like most other SAAS companies, we're investing A LOT into AI. This could bite us in the future (I personally think we're in a bubble, and the consequences of over-investing will be very painful once it bursts)
