Pros

When it was Stamps.com it was great. The leadership was capable. They treated their employees and customers well. But now that they’re on their 4th CEO post-pandemic. Says a lot. They blame competition and inflation but really it’s lack of accountability. Feel bad for the people who (over)work there.

Cons

Sad times, my friends. End of an era.

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.
