Pros

Great people. Great product. Amazing challenges. Can be very stimulating place for people looking for a good challenge after a boring position.

Cons

Extraordinary pressure put on pro-video engineering. Senior management absolutely careless about employees life. You must be available 24hrs/7days a week in case something goes wrong with customer systems. Escalation process is totally broken, support staff needs to be restaffed and retrained and engineers must compensate in the mean time. Engineers are tired and tension can be felt.

Pros

• Some coworkers try to support each other despite the environment • You quickly learn how to handle stress (whether you want to or not)

Cons

• Toxic and reactive management style • Constantly shifting expectations with little to no clear direction • Unrealistic workload with pressure to meet metrics that don’t reflect reality • Lack of accountability from leadership—issues are pushed down instead of addressed • Poor communication across the board, leading to confusion and wasted time • Employees are not supported • Burnout is common and ignored
