Pros

If you are desperate for a job, the company will pay you a salary.

Cons

Missing a viable company strategy. PE owners only out to cut costs without a plan for revenue expansion (owners goal only to preserve dividends to themselves). PE doesn't understand and doesn't want to learn the logistics / logistics software business, impossible for the new mgmt team to succeed. Lack of investment in product and engineering. Numerous layoffs hurting employee morale. Former mgmt sudden departed, along with most institutional knowledge. New mgmt has no institutional knowledge (esp carriers, carrier relationships or customers). Political. No objective metrics to measure performance.

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.
