Pros
Great work-life balance, unlimited PTO, freedom to work from home. Great diversity. Treats engineers well. Standing desks. Does good for the world.
Cons
Large, corporate-feeling company can mean there's not a lot of visibility for what's happening elsewhere in the company or up above. Not too many hip perks compared to smaller tech companies and startups like food in office or cozy workspaces.

Thank you for your response and highlighting some of our great benefits. One thing we live and breathe is our culture. We do our very best to keep our “startup” feel and provide endless opportunity for our employees to stand out with the exceptional work they do. With our “no dress code” policy, we like our employees to feel comfortable at work. While we don’t have a chef in our kitchen, we do have food in the office many times a week, and our employees never go hungry!
The company was fantastic when I first started working there, the culture was embracing and supportive. Folks seem to care about your development at first and your growth.
Cons
After 3ds bought the company it started going downhill gradually, many c suite turnover, terminations and new latest CEO is clueless when it comes to executing the vision, while also making sure they continue delivering on NEXT all on all these features when at launch half of them don’t even work properly. Having spent years at the company I saw clients lose trust on the products and leadership, a lot of times CEO’s from client side would give advice on senior management on processes which being the vendor we should be the leaders on guidance not the other way around. Consider applying to other SaaS companies.
