Pros

can work remote, decent/average software engineers

Cons

There are a few senior directors at this company that want to go into every meeting and bring negativity to every interaction - there isn't a chance that goes by where they will not take the opportunity to make point out how smart they are, and how dumb you are. Many people are getting fed up, and over the next several months this company will start to see people leaving. When all the good people are gone, it will be exciting to see these people doing all these jobs themselves.

I’m sorry things are not working well for you but I appreciate you sharing your perspective. Obviously, nobody has all the answers (and hopefully nobody thinks they do). We work in a very collaborative environment and aspire to make it entirely about the best ideas and execution, and not at all about titles. I know we don’t always achieve that however, and I’d love to sit down and hear about your experience, if you are willing. - Ted

Pros

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Cons

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
