Pros

- The lunches every day are amazing -- not just "we'll order you whatever you want off Eat24/Grubhub/Facestuff", but awesome custom meals to suit everyone in the company. - Just about every type of distraction you could want, including pool, pingpong, video games, etc. - The folks who work there are great, friendly people.

Cons

- First and foremost, the business feels ethically shady. A lot of their "customers", especially those who call in for support, are folks getting sucked into multi-level-marketing schemes through their referrer program. - They have so much technical debt they're basically bankrupt. Their stack is mostly PHP and some cryptic Perl. After a failed full-stack rewrite a few years ago (after which all the devs responsible were fired) it has left them a few steps behind their competitors with crappy infrastructure. - Bait and switch - If they tell you you're going to write greenfield code... you'll probably be hacking features in PHP to play catchup.

2 slides and no career

Pros

2 slides, free food, decent benefits, and the team. It's an amazing group of people, incredibly smart and hardworking. Most people are friendly and always willing to help you however they can.

Cons

It's all fun & games when you start, from the outside it looks like this super fun place to work, hey look at us we're a hip company full of nurf guns and cool toys. Once the fog settles you see what it really is. It's an inorganic, forced culture, not something we created but something we are told to live & breath even when our own leaders don't know our core values. The CEO runs this ship, with incredibly limited experience as a leader and 0 people skills. Leadership has little to no actual leadership experience over all and has almost no say in anything that happens, unless it's in agreement with the CEO. When you start there are promises of growth but other than a few very isolated instances that's a blatant lie. Even if you are being told you are doing a great job and working towards a promotion or a new role they don't mean in this life time, they will string people along like that year after year until they leave. As long as you are quiet and don't speak out against things that you think are wrong, you can coast along in your role for eternity. But beware, a few comments stating you disagree with something or would like to make improvements somewhere (that CEO thinks doesn't need improving)l and you're next in line for a skills realignment or performance evaluation.

Great People, Iffy Customers

Pros

Great work environment, free lunch, pretty solid compensation—though annual raises left a lot to be desired, paid travel (if your role encompasses it), reimbursement for professional/personal development related to your job.

Cons

Culture sometimes felt forced, micro-management from higher ups, remote work not permitted, no real career pathing for most roles, several of the "small businesses" served through the software are questionable at best.
