Pros

Coming from a large enterprise company with no culture and an attitude that lead to caring less about it's employees ShipStation is a breath of fresh air. Pros: - The work culture is amazing, unlimited PTO, free snacks, beer fridays - Work/Life balance is great, very respectful of your vacation and time off - Catered lunches on Wednesdays - Challenging work that lets you use your creativity - People really work with each other to solve problems without ego and friction - New people hired at the top that are smart and helping our product succeed The people here genuinely care about solving the design problem with you. That type of working environment breeds happier people and great ideas. I look forward to coming to work everyday which I think is a very important piece to someone being successful and happy.

Cons

- The health insurance could be better but is still pretty good

Pros

The work from home option is great, they do provide free snacks and drinks and a catered lunch once a week. Sometimes the workload can be really light. Most of the people working there were great

Cons

Owned by private equity, so the annual mass layoffs are very real, They will mass fire people and then outsource the jobs over seas. Expectation of taking ownership of projects without equitable pay for the responsibilities taken on. Sometimes the workload can be unbearable. I worked there when it was still a startup company, So I witnessed the company culture dive off of a cliff after the PE acquisition. Upper management is very fake and everything is about pushing more and more sales. The quality of the product has deteriorated, while more features have been added, there are more bugs and less people to fix them, all while the company continues to raise their prices. Managers tend to be promoted or moved from different sister companies, because they are "good managers" but then they know nothing about the platform they are managing, so they end up not being able to assist the employees they are managing
