Pros

Remote work option, pretty good benefits

Cons

This company used to be employee-focused, a team environment, and held itself to a higher standard. They always used to say, "We're not the cheapest, but we deliver a high quality product and people recognize that". This is no more. They are totally focused on profits and buying up other innovative companies so they don't have to innovate themselves. They put no real effort into R&D, which is crazy in a tech-centered industry. They're still hanging on to the fact that they're a 100+ year old company and living off clients they've had for many years, but the work is not what it used to be. Projects are consistently late, over budget, and all management can do is blame the technicians, when in reality it's poor management that is the issue. That company is headed downhill.

Pros

Employees are passionate about their work and their customers. Flexibility is really great, the ability to work remotely when so many other companies are forcing people back to the office is a big plus. People are genuinely nice and want to help each other which is not something you find at every company.

Cons

A lot of change, but that is to be expected with how much the company is growing.

Pros

Flexibility, sense of ownership in your work, some great people

Cons

The bonus was below industry standard and is formulated per how well the entire company does. This isn’t fair that some of the company that doesn’t do well affects everyone else, especially when we can’t hire enough people to do the work.
