Pros

Product line, that is executed well, helps get life changing products to consumers quicker.

Cons

Leadership has been asleep at the wheel for decades, creating a well meaning but ultimately horrible product that is costing customers more money than its worth in errors. The application has corrupted customer data, lost it, been unresponsive in manufacturing lines for hours on end… but its still being pushed to customers who’s needs far exceed its capabilities. Company values “conformity over success”. There’s basically a status quo of needing to be some sort of delusional optimistic frat bro to be accepted by leadership… where leadership can’t even realize their products are the worst designed in all of SAAS. The staff that has been there for more than 3 or 4 years is generally unqualified for the roles they hold. Leadership is definitely the old school and ineffective.

Pros

Great people and culture. Solid benefits, Health insurance paid 100%.

Cons

Comp is ok. Promotions are almost impossible to get. Constant layoffs, maybe 5-7 times in the past 12 months? Engineering leadership is constantly switching priorities and lacks vision, transparency, and ownership. Long-standing traditions are now being canceled, likely to save money. Poor AI posture in engineering. Engineers are encouraged to spend ridiculous amounts on AI tokens, then the company does layoffs because it spent too much on AI.
