Pros

Some great people with long tenure who really understand the business. A lot of people care about each other and the company

Cons

Executive team is toxic. The CMO and CPO have a terrible reputation and the CEO isn’t doing anything about it and lets them drive the business into the ground. The good people are leaving because they can’t stand working with them. Marketing continues to decline every year with no real plan to improve.

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.
