Pros

None. Seriously, none. I've looked. There aren't any.

Cons

Checkr is entirely sales driven. Whatever sales wants, sales gets. They essentially write the requirements. Product essentially is order takers. The company bends over backwards for customers who don't bring in the promised revenue. One off solutions for 'logos'. Logos, big company names, seem to be the only thing that matters to this comoany. R&D leadership changes every 6 months or so. Checkr essentially masquerades as a tech company. Architecture is horrible. Billing is a mess. I think we're down to 1 infrastructure engineer. Don't know of anyone in product or engineering that is happy here. This place will make you question why you chose software engineering as a profession. Stay as far away from this company as possible!

Thanks for the review and critical feedback. I will absolutely escalate your review to the C-staff, but also encourage you to chat with your leadership directly. Change will only happen if we're consistently pushing feedback up to leadership. - Arthur / Recruiting

Pros

Great insurance. Learning Stipends, etc

Cons

-Senior leadership only cares about what is new and shiny. -They treat AI like a religion. Forcing everyone to use AI for everything as though we don't realize that the end goal is to eliminate our roles - All Hands Meetings every month where Senior Leadership pats themselves on the back while ignoring any existing issues. - Support is treated like a necessary evil instead of a fundamental part of doing business. Would prefer to ship the roles overseas or replace with AI - Extremely high attrition for Senior Leadership.
