Pros

° You get paid on time.

Cons

° The company is ran by the product teams. They are constantly demanding that we cut corners, avoid writing tests, and avoid collaborating with other teammates and to just focus on releasing low-fidelity features. ° Engineers or IC (individual contributor) have barely any voice in the company. Your suggestions and recommendation would be ignored. ° If you're looking for a company in where you can grow from an IC to manager, this is not the place. At LTK, they hire all their and managers externally. They would use this as a carrot to motivate you, but it's apparently not the case. I did not see not 1 promotion in my time there while they hired several managers. ° My manager would micro-manage constantly making myself and others feel uncomfortable with questions and probing non-stop in public channels. ° Really bad at fostering collaboration and growing amongst team. ° The knowledge budget is very low, they don't care or invest in your growth. They just want your output during your time there. ° Heavy favoritism towards Staff and principle engineers.

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.
