Pros

-The yearly EEF allowance -That’s it, honestly

Cons

-Below-market salaries -Tone-deal & shady management that instituted a pay freeze mid-review cycle after promoting & giving raises to a select few. They then insisted that we should take on promotions without raises because “it’s not just about money, it’s about the opportunity.” -This is not a meritocracy by any means, and don’t expect any transparency. Management often goes back on their word regarding promotions/bonuses/compensating at market level. -Expect little to no support or leadership from middle/upper management. -Everyone is looking for their next move -Oh yeah, and there is no “AI”. It’s just machine learning + really good copywriters.

Pros

Remote work and diverse team

Cons

This company is sinking fast. Every year brings another round of layoffs, shrinking budgets, no bonuses, no cost-of-living raises, and no meaningful promotions. The only “promotions” happening are title changes with no salary increase. Upper management continues making questionable changes and presenting them as “positive initiatives for employees and the company,” supposedly based on employee feedback. Feedback from who? Leadership clearly isn’t listening to the people actually doing the work. Communication is consistently poor, leading to mistakes, confusion, and constant blame-shifting whenever problems arise. Benefits continue to get worse. Summer Fridays were removed, the insurance offerings are weak, and there’s little to no real career growth unless you’re moving backward. Morale is low, and employees are expected to absorb the impact of endless organizational instability. The product itself is overly complicated and constantly changing — sometimes week to week. Very few people truly understand it unless they’ve been at the company for a long time, and even then, keeping up with the pace is exhausting and unsustainable. Meanwhile, upper management continues selling it as a simple, seamless solution. Clients quickly discover otherwise after endless email chains, miscommunication, implementation errors, and constant changes in direction. This company feels deeply disconnected internally and externally. The environment is chaotic, leadership lacks transparency, and the overall trajectory is concerning. At this point, the ship is sinking fast, and it’s hard to recommend this place to anyone looking for stability, growth, or a healthy work environment.
