Pros

- Potential to work on some greenfield projects if you're lucky enough - Decent recruiting team that consistently tries to hire ex-FAANG / top tier talent who try to bring better standards to the tech org

Cons

- Unrealistic timelines value bottom line over engineering quality - Bad equity, terrible 3 year cliff'ed 401k match, outdated yearly vesting schedule, poor refreshers even for high performers - Attrition after 5 day RTO - Disconnect between senior leadership and the engineer org leads to top-down orders - Investment in flashy new product areas with little regard for the system that keeps the lights on

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.
