Pros

- Great benefits (parking, pet insurance, etc) - There is flexibility to move across teams depending on your interests - Office is nice, catered lunch weekly - CTO is very down to earth, friendly, and understanding

Cons

- Lack of diversity in the company, especially in the Technology team: there are few African Americans and there are also few women - I was told there would be a promotion evaluation every 6 months. This was not true and has not happened. - Leadership has been vague about promotions due to the company merger for over a year and a half. - Fellow teammates also feel hopeless, under-appreciated, and desperate for direction in career growth

Pros

The team members who are in the weeds

Cons

* Low pay and lack of career progression. Last year I had my first raise in years but it was a VERY small increase that hasn't improved my quality of life unfortunately. This year they pushed the merit increase by half a year. There isn't a doubt among all of colleagues that this is an intentional move to get more folks to quit / save money. * High employee turnover. * Multiple waves of layoffs and departures since 2024. Lack of communication and planning around layoffs leads to us having to figure out solutions on the fly and it honestly does not seem like that leadership cares about how these layoffs are affecting the CURRENT business. * Rotating door of Execs who have no idea what's going on in the ground. We're just treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.
