Pros

You can learn a lot about what not to do when managing people if you work here.

Cons

During my brief time working here I saw so many People of Color and LGBTQ+ folks get fired here. Close to two dozen people. For a small company that's a lot of people. It felt like every other week someone was getting fired for not meeting unreachable demands set by the wannabe tech bros that own this company. They talk about being diverse and act like they want to give overlooked deserving people opportunities, and uplift them. Truth is they just want to employ people who they can overwork and underpay. They either give people crazy goals or no direction (there was no inbetween). If you don't meet these goals or figure out how to do something that was not clearly outlined, they will fire you. No coaching, no improvement plan, just fire you...that is if you are POC or LGBTQ+. Unless you are a heterosexual of European decent, or if you are on the underpaid outsourced team, you should expect to walk on eggshells at this company. As an ally, this behavior shook me to my core. I saw so many good people get undervalued, underpaid, overworked and then thrown out when Outco was done with them. This company makes a bunch of money from their career program, check out the prices on their website. Yet they never have enough money to pay people fairly or hire enough people so that everyone isn't over worked. They promise all the full timers big pay raises, and equity packages once certain company goals are met, but this'll never happen and it's just a dangling carrot. The goals change every month. If you value your mental health, work anywhere else, but this company. I'm begging you. Unless they are willing to pay for your therapist! But...they won't.
