Pros

The office was incredibly nice and free lunch was a great bonus.

Cons

Toxic engineering culture that promoted people based on the number of commits instead of their ability to be an engineer. Documentation, technical architecture, and technical leadership was not valued in engineers and ignored during their performance evaluations from VPs and the CTO.

Pros

I’m drawn to the company’s culture and its emphasis on flexibility. The starting salary is also quite reasonable.

Cons

They want you to move out of state to get promoted, the type of people they hire for management positions are questionable, raises are limited, and it’s extremely sales focused. Full of lazy people. If you aren’t a seller, good luck.
