Pros

I'm happy to be a shareholder of the company because they know how to make money. Bonuses are also very good (however I think this can also be a con due to the sense of entitlement that it creates, keeping people in roles and in the organization for far too long).

Cons

Culture, leadership, communication, infrastructure. Politics are placed above performance, and there is no safe outlet for employees who wish to voice a concern. All meaningful work seems to be done at the AVP level or below, with many managers at the VP level and above lacking the skills and courage needed to lead, inspire, and innovate to stay competitive.

Pros

Business side is smart and is superb at their product

Cons

The IT organization struggles with structural challenges that impact efficiency. The offshore-heavy model in India means US-based employees regularly work early hours to stay aligned, which is unsustainable long-term. The workforce is heavily weighted toward a high-headcount service model rather than investing in strong engineering talent — you need fewer, better engineers, not more bodies. Central tech functions are attempting to build platforms, but without a clear shared understanding of what a platform actually means, these initiatives remain incomplete. The result is heavy manual workarounds propping up half-finished solutions. Strategic direction shifts frequently, and ongoing layoff announcements make it difficult to plan or build momentum.
