Pros

The people I worked with were great. Before IPO the company as a whole had a very positive atmosphere.

Cons

Questionable focus on where money is spent, expensive executive lunches and offsites for engineers seem to leech funds from other things that would benefit the company as a whole. Seems to be moving their entire operation to Utah, wouldn't be surprised if next step is outsourcing out of the country.

Pros

Decent starting pay and some good teammates. The company is highly profitable and continues to grow. Opportunities to take on new responsibilities and expand your scope. Equity awards.

Cons

Over the course of several years, I have been given additional responsibilities multiple times without more compensation despite the company’s strong financial performance. While I’m happy to contribute, the pattern of increasing responsibility without recognition is a major demotivator, even to your most diligent employees. It's tiresome. It doesn't take much effort to make strong contributors feel seen and valued, and it's such a missed opportunity not to. The company frequently talks about culture and values, but there is infighting and rivalries between teams and individuals. That energy creates drama instead of collaboration and leads to repetitious mistakes. Good people — especially top performers — eventually leave because they can.
