Pros

Compensation is pretty good, and it's fully remote. Great for someone who only wants to code in exchange for money, nothing more.

Cons

Over my two years I have seen so many managers come and go through the revolving door it's no wonder morale is at a all time low. Personally I have been passed on from manager to manager every few months for over a year. Stand in managers simply paid lip service but I felt they never really cared much at all. Recent cost cutting measures has forced the company to backtrack on some very recent promises, causing trust issues among employees.

Thanks so much for leaving an honest review—we truly value your feedback. The current macroeconomic conditions have prompted us to be more diligent in our spending as we build for durability and profitability amidst the challenging environment. We’ve had to make some hard trade-offs, but supporting our employees has been our key goal. We strongly feel that we do this best by providing consistent income and health benefits rather than focusing on short-term in-person gatherings and meals. We understand it’s frustrating to not be able to meet with coworkers in-person, and recognize the challenges that presents. Our People team will soon be introducing new programs that enable us to create a sustainable, lasting, and engaging remote-first experience that fosters genuine connection, no matter where in the world our people are located.

Pros

While pay IS competitive there were a few employees that were well underpaid even at the level they were at. Pro's - are that they educate you to use AI, the overall people team is great.

Cons

There was a shift in leadership last Fall and there have been cultural changes and not great ones. People are promoted without having the right experience required for the job aka senior manager roles. It seems like everyone is not happy and wants to leave. It is just a matter of time until turnover happens. There has been too many promises broken, broken leadership communication which results in a lack of trust, some managers are now micromanaging and it comes across as they fear for their jobs. They want to IPO which is great but ousting the entire GTM leadership sales team and head of people around the same time raised eyebrows.
