Pros

The Portland development team is great. So good in fact, that I assume they're all looking for other jobs like me.

Cons

The managers that I've worked with seem unable to understand software development basics, and as such are ineffective leaders. Because of this lack of skill, a severe culture of blame has been established by management. For example, the SVP in Portland and HR both blame the CEO for promoting none of the very deserving development team, but all of the management team. One of the bigger goals of the past few years has been getting off the legacy system. The development team has to this point made great strides towards this goal, with zero input (or recognition) from management. Current plans to continue this effort were made by the development and product teams, again with no action from management apart from promoting themselves.

Pros

You get to do multiple peoples jobs.

Cons

Little vacation time, bad 401k matching, 1-ish% raises yearly, everything is a rush. I’d invent a new phrase for this company: “macro-micro management.” Leadership constantly pushes arbitrary KPIs, and even when you meet or exceed them, performance is still judged subjectively based on management’s feelings rather than actual analytics or results. There’s a persistent culture of surveillance and criticism with very little constructive feedback or direction. It often feels like, “I don’t know what I want, but it’s not this.” Sales lacks clear strategy, marketing feels disconnected and uninspired, and morale across teams is extremely low due to turnover and frequent firings. Overall, the company environment feels unstable, poorly managed from the top down, and difficult to trust as an employee. I would not recommend working here. Full of “yes” people with no strategy.
