Pros
- Ability to work from home / remote. - Generous PTO (if you can find time to use it). - Lots of new projects providing diverse opportunities. - Good opportunity to take responsibility and ownership, if desired. - Company-wide shout-outs to hard workers.
Cons
- Salary is on the lower end compared to industry standards. - Very little respect for personal time. Excessive meetings and constant pings. - The company is understaffed, skewed towards junior employees, placing a heavy burden on a few individuals. - Desperately needs more staff across all departments, but reluctant to address low performance issues. - Major talent retention problem. Lots have left, and even more still looking to leave. - Engineering was an afterthought during roadmapping, lacking a seat at the table. Promises of improvement were not realized during my time. - While hard work is recognized, it feels hollow. Good work is rewarded with more work and responsibility, occasionally a gift card, but no bonuses or additional equity. - Equity offered is minimal and not substantial.
