Pros

Well, I guess it's a job.

Cons

The pay is garbage, especially given the New York City cost of living. Managers are nitpicky. The software development culture is rigid, aggressively homogenous, and even the smallest opportunities for creativity are actively squashed. Bonuses, raises, and promotions are not proportional to effort. "Did you do absolutely nothing this quarter? We're docking you $500 bonus pay. Did you put in 250% more effort than your peers? Great, here's any extra 1/3 of a single paycheck." Makes perfect sense. Turnover is atrocious. Key people leave on a bi-weekly basis. Any engineer with any talent or ambition gets poached or leaves.

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.
