Pros

Decent health benefits, unlimited vacation time, passionate and talented co-workers, standing desks, catered lunches, team building events.

Cons

Company maintains high speed start-up mentality without consideration of extensibility and limited processes in place despite how large it's grown. Micro management, some managers lack management skills, management by fear, and management by crisis tends to be the norm. High stress environment created by managers, long hours with nights and weekends required to keep up with client commitments. New hires expected to learn product and complex work quickly via hundreds of JIRA tickets. High turnover rate with Product Owners and Project Managers. Accountability lacking between departments with escalations often required for crucial tasks to get accomplished. Ability to take and or enjoy any said unlimited vacation is rare due to previously noted items.

Pros

Great design team, very integrated with the product, marketing, and dev teams. Also good UX research team.

Cons

Product owners did not have BAs to help them so they were overwhelmed with work.

Pros

Remote work, expensive family benefits, cool coworkers

Cons

If you really wanna go through life on hard mode, choose Alkami. It is dysfunctional on the surface, but as you peel through the layers, you'll see that it's actually rotten on the inside. Everything's a mess. Every page is a bug. The company is one lawsuit away from total shutdown!
