      Pros

      -Strong company culture and feels like a family -Senior management is dedicated to the company -Several team building events and competitions that get a lot of people involved -Good healthcare/dental/vision package -Work/life balance is excellent; you are not expected to stay overtime or take anything home with you -The people work very hard and want to help others on their team succeed -We value our clients tremendously and work hard to keep them -Certain teams are great to be on with meaningful work and managers who listen to your concerns and help solve problems

      Cons

      -Salary below industry standard (especially with cost of living) despite management's claims. Look at Glassdoor to make up your own mind -Limited vacation (2 week PTO, 3 week after 5 years) -Good strategy and vision need to be set and actually followed -Values need to come from this strategy and vision, not the other way around -Office politics between departments often delays projects and potentially outright kills them -Putting out fires or kicking the can down the road is far more frequent than solving underlying problems

      Glassdoor can provide good information, but it isn't a salary tool. People self-report and may inflate their salaries in hopes of driving up the published salaries for their positions. To my knowledge, there is no verification done on what's reported. (I have seen salaries posted for ML for a location we never had.) ML pays for a salary tool that tells us actual salaries being paid by level/seniority. We can also see salaries for our geographic area versus the bay area, for example. This assists us in paying our employees fairly. There are companies that pay less than ML, and companies that pay more. Job searchers need to evaluate salary along with work/life balance, travel requirements, company stability, location, and a host of other criteria that's important to them. We appreciate your comments, and will consider them as we continually improve!

      Pros

      High-paced organization on path to growth. Remote work is awesome but also plenty of opportunities to see co-workers in person. New leadership with eye to service and innovation. Company has been around for over 20 years but still operates like a start up so plenty of chances to have influence.

      Cons

      Competing priorities, sometimes budget is hard to come by. Slow planning process.

      Pros

      -Remote-first, WFH stipend, decent PTO, Great Place to Work Certified. -Not too woke for a CA company. -Recently went private which hopefully will be a good thing. -Good work-life balance, I never work more than 40/week. -If you like AI-assisted development, Github Copilot (for everyone) and Claude Code (for seniors) are provided. -They haven't had layoffs since 2024.

      Cons

      -Revolving door of upper leadership. Brand new CTO; who knows what he'll do? -Many dev teams are majority cheap offshore contractors. Minimal feeling of being on a team; I don't know most of my coworkers. No teambuilding activities. -Reliance on poor metrics like code coverage and velocity. Managing by metrics and dashboards. -Minimal salary raises. -CEO sends out motivational "rah rah" emails every Friday. -Disconnect between what developers are experiencing and what upper management thinks is going on. -Company is going "all in" on AI, and have unrealistic expectations of what AI can accomplish. Like they think they can get A-level work out of C-level developers through AI usage. AI fatigue is real. -Not all managers are emotionally intelligent or even technically adept.
