Pros

The WLB here is unmatched. They truly care about ensuring you work appropriate hours and take copious amounts of PTO. When they say unlimited PTO, they mean it. The culture is great too, everyone seems to want to learn together and everyone is truly friendly and genuine. There isn't a "stupid question" here. The benefits package is great as well, once again focusing on WLB and caring for the employee. I find myself excited to go into work everyday and I'm grateful to be part of an amazing group.

Cons

I never understood the term "growing pains" until I started here, as Loyal encapsulates it perfectly. From day 1, processes have changed left and right, positions and people have been moved around, and the code base has gone through some massive changes. These are mostly good changes but the instability can be a bit unnerving at times.

Pros

- Great communication - Transparency - Work life balance - Important work - Great managers and leadership now - Great clients - Leadership is listening

Cons

We had layoffs last year but we've now been very stable and the new leadership has really been transparent and treats us like adults. I'm much happier now than I was before the layoffs.

Pros

- The company has made a strong comeback under new leadership. The new CEO and team have brought focus, transparency, and stability. - Your work is seen and appreciated. There’s a clear culture of recognition and accountability. - Management listens to feedback and encourages employees to take ownership and contribute ideas. - There’s a healthy work-life balance, with flexibility and respect for personal time. - Compensation is fair and performance-based. The more responsibility and influence you take on, the more you’re rewarded. - It’s a good place to grow and be part of a rebuilding phase with real opportunity to make a difference.

Cons

Unfortunately, the company went through layoffs in the previous year, which understandably left some past employees unhappy and disappointed. - Still in the process of rebuilding — some internal processes and structures are evolving and may not be fully mature yet. - Like many startup companies in transition, occasional uncertainty can arise, but leadership seems committed to open communication and improvement.
