Pros

- Base salary is pretty decent for Atlanta - Strong research group

Cons

- Layoff (May 2018 ) of 23 people happened due to poor top management and inability for the CEO to identify the issues. Not a single top level manager were fired even when it was clear that they were not competent. - Engineering standards are really poor and the Product team is not good at identifying essential features. - Release dates have no correlation with the pending work - Culture is not about 5 letters, it is about making the employees love the company.

Pros

Flexible working space and hours. 100% remote first (though if you live in ATL, you can go into the office) if you choose. Great team dynamic.

Cons

Like any small company/startup, opportunities for advancement are somewhat limited, but even then, you can still get promoted and raises are pretty consistent.
