Pros

Some good folks work here.

Cons

The company had back-to-back layoffs in November of 2022 and June of 2023. Their business strategy is nonexistent. They want to move upmarket but offer a product that will not sell to enterprise-level customers. This is because they laid off all of the software developers in 2022 and neutered their ability to expand the product in any meaningful way beyond basic bug fixes and shopping API integration. Their product is easily imitable and, as it stands, will only sell to small to mid-range customers. They have succeeded in setting fire to their "amazing" "unicorn" Series A funding and now, terrified of a sub-par down round, are bleeding both talent and morale at an impressive rate. They have neither the ability to manage their resources nor any clear strategy for future growth. Applying here is like walking onto the Titanic. Oh, and ignore any positive reviews you see that were written immediately after November 2022 and June 2023. I have personally witnessed HR employees falsifying positive reviews on Glassdoor.

Loved working with all the people at Route! Always unique and fun projects.

Fast paced environment with some last minute tight deadlines as to be expected working with an up and coming tech startup

Pros

The company has energy, and there are moments where it genuinely feels exciting… at least temporarily.

Cons

Everything moves extremely fast, which sounds great at first, but eventually the constant shifting starts creating more confusion than momentum, because priorities change, expectations evolve mid-process, and communication doesn’t always keep pace with those changes, so instead of building confidence in the work you’re doing, you end up constantly recalibrating and trying to keep up with whatever the newest focus is, which becomes mentally exhausting after a while because nothing ever feels fully settled long enough to actually succeed properly.
