Pros

Great location, profitable business, work place fun activities and events are good, good group of people overall. If you are a good manager of people with some programming experience this is the right place.Data driven. Good place to work if you just want a job, not necessarily a career.

Cons

Nothing to offer from career perspective for programmer or engineer. 70% admin tasks, 30% coding. QA dept is in-competent. Technology leadership lacks direction, business changes rapidly and as a programer you need to keep up with those changes, which means more rapid work and tight deadlines. Low retention in product department, which means there are always new product managers who are learning themselves. Data driven, to the extent that they measure your code quality by the number of bugs, which in my view is a poor poor way to measure quality. Off shore team is poor.

Core Digital Media is a fast paced environment to be sure. We are an internet based company and things move quickly. We understand that this is not for everyone and it takes a unique person to thrive in this type of industry. We believe in our fantastic QA team as well as our offshore team who, within this dynamic environment, work very hard day in and day out in close collaboration with our US-based development team. We encourage career growth and have seen many employees rise into management roles. This is supported by the numerous classes we offer and our formal performance review process, where code quality is just one of many clearly established criteria. We encourage our employees to shape their careers and work with them to achieve their goals. Finally our product group does amazing work and many have been here for years. While some have pursued opportunities outside the organization, which is normal for any company, the turnover in the group is relatively low compared to the industry. We appreciate the feedback and will take this into consideration as we move forward.

Pros

-office great amenities -smart coworkers -modern tech stack -great wlb -extremely good severance package

Cons

-around q2 2025 the atmosphere felt stale, upper management was ghosting us and seemed like no exciting projects in pipeline -turns out the plan was to cut the entire company, due to overlap from redfin acquisition -shitty turn of events but it is what it is, severance is the best ive seen so at least Varun was considerate
