Pros

barely can think of any, except that you may find some people there

Cons

as many people have said in their reviews: toxic management | archaic tech -- very low pay -- very toxic culture --awful c-level managers (Uneducated and unqualified management) let me just repeat some of the review from other folks which I do agree with: 1- High-level managers are allowed to be completely remote; everyone else is required to be in office 3 days/week 2- Management at a director level and above (with a very few exceptions) don't have a clue how to build software. Managers are busy playing political games to survive and not to get fired. Architects are busy generating visions not aligned with reality. Engineers are busy maintaining old mess. So everyone is busy producing nothing. 3- Uneducated and unqualified {...} management. Puts people without degrees in roles that need them, where other companies require them. - Refuses to adapt to Industry standards and best practices. - Acts like a bank, not a software company. 4-Toxic management, especially senior level. 5- Nothing ever seems to improve and things only get worse. 6- This place was by far the worst place I have ever worked in my entire life! || Micromanaged at all levels 7- if you enjoy working for narcissistic micro managers, go for it! 8- This place can be classified as a chaotic hell, and the VP's love the smell of fear and rotting employee corpses. All the negative things that you read on the forums, internet, and on Glassdoor are true.

Good People, terrible leadership

Pros

Good people doing the day to day work.

Cons

Compensation and benefits unfortunately cannot make up for the poor culture. Upper/ Exec leadership with the exception of few leaders are out of touch with reality and the people who do the hard work. They don’t mind fluffing their own pocketbook first with bonuses and high comp. The company also has so many director level & above roles which makes it top heavy with no strong strategy & quick to get rid of roles due to whatever reason. No job is safe there. Most leadership of the “People Team” is the worst. They bought a new building during the pandemic and asked employees to come back to the office. Their “purpose” for it, to collaborate, is just a buzz word because they spent too much money on a building that nobody wants to fill. The change was implemented within two weeks , right before the holidays with no thought about how it impacts people . This is another example of how executives are out of touch with reality and constantly changing things on the employees. Instead of purchasing buildings to try and look the part in expensive areas, try putting that money towards the people who actually do the day to day work and not laying them off. Spend the money to do group/department trainings once a year in person and rent out a space for that time. Give employees a break from the constant (unnecessary change) that impacts their lives in a moments notice. Focus on what’s important to move the company forward vs. being worried who’s badging into a building to sit on zoom calls. It’s sad, because the company has a great product, but they treat their employees like they’re nothing.

Pros

decent benefits, free organic fruit one day/week, concierge service, free coffee/tea

Cons

if you enjoy working for narcissistic micro managers, go for it! (there are scores of open positions.) in the past 4 months, talented people have opted to leave, and many more are looking. morale is low among the rank-and-file. the company values are a joke. they don’t seem to apply to management.
