Pros

Lots of close-knit developers working together to solve problems in a collaborative environment, you'll learn a lot!

Cons

Crazy amount of micro-management from the bloated reporting structure that wastes time on throw-away feature work because nobody can get aligned with what needs to be done. Throwing more directors at the problem isn't the solution, who knew? Has potential but needs to get out of its own way and promote from within instead of absorbing the dealer.com culture. We've gone FAR away from what made Polly a great place to work.

Pros

Great group of people to work with in engineering, great codebase to work in

Cons

Lots of product churn. There were a number of times where we would work very hard on a feature for multiple months where it would never leave a pilot phase if it ever even saw the light of day. Very disheartening to work on features like that. Also many many rounds of layoffs, in addition to lots of isolated layoffs for people who were still performing well in their role.
