Pros

You’ll work with a team of highly professional and dedicated coworkers who genuinely care about delivering a quality product. There’s a strong sense of collaboration and mutual support within teams. The company offers flexible time off and promotes the use of modern technologies, including AI and other productivity tools, which can be great for staying current and exploring innovative solutions.

Cons

The company has gone through several reorganizations in the past couple of years, resulting in frequent layoffs and a lack of stability. The entire QA team was dismantled, with members pushed to transition into developer roles. Unfortunately, even making that transition does not guarantee job security. There are minimal growth opportunities for QA professionals, and overall career development feels uncertain. Each quarter feels like a layoff lottery, which creates a high-stress environment. Constant fear of job loss takes a serious toll on mental health, making it difficult to focus or feel secure in your role.

Pros

Some people are nice to work with

Cons

Culture of personality, not competency or meritocracy. Prepare for hysteria-inducing layers of upper management inadequacy and to be fired during a personal crisis as a karmic reward for loyalty to their unethical ways of operating - they have a pattern of firing people during health crises, family death, and other traumatic periods of their life to some of their most competent and capable employees. Do yourself a favor and google “Nextiva lawsuits” for just a peek into some of their standard operating procedures - and that’s just a small peek behind the curtain. Working here felt like a stain on my reputation and moral compass. They make asks of their employees that put them in compromising legal situations and management hides behind them when Goldman Sachs looks for fresh blood to let. They have a bleak moral compass and ineptitude in business strategy to boot - wouldn’t recommend joining this “winning” team to anyone unless they’re trying to flame out and waste years of their life trying to operate in a broken machine. Their cycle of hire and fire is embarrassing and shows that upper management is clueless but continues to punish those doing the work while maintaining a superiority complex that they’re not part of the problem. It makes me laugh thinking of their egos and how clueless and laughable they really are. It’s like a couple of kids got lucky building a business and the coat and top hat is falling off revealing 3 little kids stacked on each other’s shoulders while they demand respect without earning it.
