Pros

They throw perks at you, but that's not all that matters at a company and they don't seem to understand that

Cons

The pay is laughable Male executives don't promote women Need more women in leadership roles Employees that work hard and dedicate themselves to their jobs aren't rewarded or recognized Communication from upper management is HORRIBLE They expect way too much of you and use it as a test to see who will hold out long enough without getting a raise Barely room for improvement- it's a popularity game or who has known who the longest because all of the execs and management are friends

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
