Pros

• Get to work with the latest and greatest technologies (i.e. no legacy tech from the 90s). • Contribute to larger engineering decisions regardless of title - your voice will be heard and is always welcome. • Management does not "hover over your shoulder". There's a trust that you will get the necessary work done and will reach out if needed. • Project deadlines are not stressful. For the most part, they are soft and planned with realistic timelines. • Promotions are based on talent versus years of experience. • Of course... the unlimited PTO.

Cons

• The projects that you are assigned to are typically decided by management. • Tickets/stories are not always written well when passed to the devs

Pros

Strong individual contributors who are partner-centric. New office is nice for hybrid work.

Cons

What was once a strong culture has eroded significantly due to poor leadership, misaligned talent in key roles, and a chronic lack of strategic direction and communication. Tenure or relationships are rewarded over competence, and those at the top protect each other — even when decisions have negatively impacted the business and/or partners. People are treated as revenue-generating assets, not human beings. Leadership is so deeply disconnected from the real problems that have persisted for years.
