Pros

Office setting is new and modern. Abundant eateries near by. Ideal first job for those with limited experience. Coffee and snacks are provided daily. M-F work schedule. Centrally located in Irving. Personal desk with a view of the surrounding area. Company functions are abundant. Free covered garage parking. Salary based, no time clocks.

Cons

The culture is cult-like. Daily operations are managed by a group of close associates that determines who gets to reap real profits for their efforts/employment. Expenditures are lavish when the money can go towards sales team compensation rather than 2 Chaniz personal concerts. Promotions are given to the select few, that happen quickly and are really earned, but given. Most promotions are to select individuals that have a limited grasp of roles or how to best help others succeed, but have been promoted based on their affiliation to particular individuals or sheer favoritism. Adjustments need to be made in regards to how goals and expectations are determined that clearly affect income potential. Starting salaries for roles vary based individually, although salaries are believed to be set per role. Yearly raises do not exist for AMs outside of promotions. Propaganda/staying on message are instilled even though that messaging does not align with actual reality. Shiftkey is constantly shifting to find its footing after experiencing rapid growth in a short time. Workloads can be completed remotely, yet attendance in the office is required. AMT's should expect to learn and adapt quickly, or their tenure can end at a moments notice.

Pros

Work remote; pay; flex time off. Neat product design ecosystem and the design system looks good in a portfolio. It seemed like things were improving with how goals were set and worked towards. While the design team existed, the culture was at first good then turned sour due to the constant threats of layoffs, lack of promotion, and limited raises.

Cons

Constant layoffs; every time a new C-level came in heads would roll. There were 4 different heads of product and 4 CTOs in the few years I worked there. Very concerning for any company. Goals constantly changing... no or very limited growth on the career ladder for designers. The design team no longer exists here. If they are hiring for this role, they have realized their mistake and are clambering to rebuild. Take this lack of stability into consideration when you negotiate your offer.
