Pros

It's not going anywhere. This company is stable since it's owned by stamps.com. It's profitable, especially for the owners and parent company.

Cons

If you want a job where you are more than a peon, this isn't the place. The company does a great job of putting on a facade of your importance and being employee centered. However, it is absolutely money centered (as a business should be) but they really couldn't care less about the minions that grind every day to make it all happen. This is a company that a few years ago valued and tried to keep its employees moral high but switched (after being acquired by Stamps.com) to the model we all know so well- the "we can always hire someone else" model. You will not develop any useful skills by working here. If you have no other choice and need a paycheck, it's great place. If you want a career and the chance to get somewhere in life, move on.

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
