Pros

By the very nature of this company's mission, everyone is very left politically and personally. Benefits were also excellent, and they can accommodate working from home really well. A significant percentage of the engineers on staff were permenant remote employees.

Cons

As a more mature company, I found the management structure to sometimes be overly-hierarchical and unneccarilary bureaucratic. I personally found this stifling but others may appreciate the structure. Also, I didn't negociate my salary and, retroactively, feel like I got shafted.

Pros

- Work from home - 401k matching - Can take up to three weeks off

Cons

In the CS department, no one knows what they're doing. Due to layoffs and turnover, a lot of internal knowledge is gone. Unfortunately, the documentation that is available is often dated and incorrect. Client questions are not easily answered, and management likes to blame the entry level workers below them. The work environment is also very fake woke. Big girl boss vibes. I genuinely feel bad for the clients because they are trying to do good work and we cannot provide real answers for their issues. There's also no room for growth. I think part of the turnover issue is that the company wants management to target older staff and replace them with cheaper new hires. I also find it incredibly gross when Bonterra exploits national disasters for advertising.
