Pros

Pay is competitive for the industry, benefits are good, moral was pretty high before the layoffs.

Cons

Poor leadership and zero job security. If there was a mold for white male tech CEOs Scott Brighton could have come straight out of it. Everything about that man is as generic and mediocre as it gets. He has no original or compelling leadership ideas and was seemingly only appointed to cut costs. The leadership team also lied constantly told us that no new layoffs were planned after the initial round early in the year but then let 20 percent of the company go right before the holidays.

Pros

As a person, I felt well taken care of by my management chain. We were encouraged to explore and be vocal and I never felt micromanaged.

Cons

- Questionable payment structure for ICs (no bonus plan) - Leadership doesn't do much of anything but takes all of the credit while the rest of us get laid off - Like most companies run out of Austin, it's a cash grab at the top while ICs do all of the work with little direction
