Pros

There are some great people at Zix/Appriver

Cons

13 layoffs to date per a long time employee who is keeping count. Little effort is made to retain good employees. Incompetent/poisonous people are kept and management isn’t doing anything about it. Lots of tech debt and almost daily high severity issues are causing dev burnout. Management is not demonstrating our company values. Employees are treated like dispensable interchangeable widgets.
