Pros
- immediate coworkers and management was good. Decent pay, but careful for pushing for too much. Was repeatedly told I was at the top of the pay band for senior and shouldn't expect much in terms of raises. Feels like that put a target on my back as someone who they could cut to save a lot of salary.
Cons
Fired 32% of their employees and then is posting jobs to fill engineering positions. Seems like if there was any forethought they would've fired less and moved people into those roles. Or perhaps people decided to leave after having watched Checkr reduce their benefits and and change their remote friendly working policies. Not much room to grow career wise unless it is in responsibilities and work load but not title and pay. Shifts in focus, priorities and reorganization of teams take place frequently. You will get a lower annual review if you work on things that do not directly generate revenue, even though your engineering and product managers tell you what they want you working on and you don't have much choice which team/focus you are on. In the end no matter how much you contribute and how good of a worker you are, you are entirely reliant on C-staff to not mismanage the company resulting in reductions in the workforce. Which unfortunately they have done repeatedly!!
