Pros

Great people who are knowledgeable and skilled at their job. Nice office with good perks onsite such as stocked kitchens, a gym, and free parking.

Cons

Lay offs. Lots of them. People are here one day and gone the next. So many changes in ELT . Auctane is on another round of searching for ELT members. As a result, things are dysfunctional. Things that need to get done are not getting done. Customers are leaving as a result. Rumor mill is that they are getting ready to sell the company and are making things look good on paper before they do so. Shame to lose so many talented folks, many of which new the systems and processes well. Management interviews you and scrutinizes your background, education and experience. Then they hire you and tell you what to do without deviation. Problems continue and nothing gets done.

Pros

The frontend engineering culture didn't exist before our team built it. Establishing modern stack practices (React, Vue, TypeScript) and bringing rigor to the frontend was genuinely rewarding work. Talented engineers and strong peer-level collaboration. Real technical ownership when projects actually moved forward. Decent benefits and remote flexibility until they started taking remote away.

Cons

Despite the company being profitable, there were layoffs nearly every quarter, which made it impossible to plan or feel stable. Leadership was consistently disorganized. Stakeholder alignment was a constant problem and decisions took far too long to land. A lot of projects never launched, not because of execution issues, but because leadership couldn't get the right people in the room or commit to a direction. Constant churn at the leadership and org level created whiplash on priorities.
