Pros

* Good culture / friendly co-workers * Free food / catering every Wednesday and Friday * Average pay * Free booze * Easy work

Cons

* Confidence in leadership is poor across the whole engineering department * Does not nurture creativity and individuality * Leadership is disorganized * Very high turnover rate * Lots of politics going on, behind the scenes * HR seems like they are protecting management rather than the employees themselves * Employee confidentiality gets thrown out the window when talking to HR (they will tell other employees what you said) * Bad/old equipment - laptops are falling apart or overheats * Will not pay for productivity tools such as IntelliJ, so you resort to buy it by yourself * LOTS of meetings (including company wide meetings) * Averaged maybe 100 lines of code per month due to fighting bugs with an over-engineered product * Unethical business decisions are being made behind consumer’s backs

Pros

- Used to be a really cool place with innovative, forward-thinking people everywhere. (A lot of the pros are "used" to be"] - There's room to get to know the people you're working with - Good brand recognition - Sometimes people have good ideas you can run with

Cons

Everything about the company now vs. 2-3 years ago is different and in a bad way. Everything is so very disjointed. Decisions are reactive and completely not thought through - they're also being made by tech bros who are simply not the target audience of this brand. They are out of touch and it's ripped the passion and potential right out of the business. Everyone feels like glorified taskhorses. No legit appreciation is given to anyone. All the things that used to make LTK great are no longer and, sadly, that probably means that ShopMy will absolutely run them into the ground. So much potential here which has been disappointing to watch disappear. Senior leadership ahs absolutely no idea what they are doing and they keep throwing things at the wall.
