      Pros

      - Flexible and relaxed working environment. - First class office in an excellent location. - Good tech stack, which attracts smart engineers. - Decent travel opportunities.

      Cons

      - The middle management is severely incompetent, takes credit for everything that goes right and shifts the blame to someone else when things go wrong. As a result, it is very difficult to get promoted or recognised if you are not a manager. - Offshore teams that have no idea what they are doing. - Mediocre salary. - No effective feedback cycle, objectives, or career development. - Very bad engineering practices that come from management and their desire to deliver things quickly, which results in bad quality software, a lot of bugs and late hours trying to fix the bugs and release them.

      Pros

      The company was fantastic when I first started working there, the culture was embracing and supportive. Folks seem to care about your development at first and your growth.

      Cons

      After 3ds bought the company it started going downhill gradually, many c suite turnover, terminations and new latest CEO is clueless when it comes to executing the vision, while also making sure they continue delivering on NEXT all on all these features when at launch half of them don’t even work properly. Having spent years at the company I saw clients lose trust on the products and leadership, a lot of times CEO’s from client side would give advice on senior management on processes which being the vendor we should be the leaders on guidance not the other way around. Consider applying to other SaaS companies.
