Pros

Catered meals. Standing desks. Salary is on par with market, I guess.

Cons

I never know what's going on with anything. Nothing is ever communicated in advance. Plans change and no one is ever updated. If there's any actual direction or strategy going on, hardly anyone knows what it is. People seem actively averse to talking with each other and they shun using any kind of collaborative communication tool. About half the employees are contractors, and it's obvious they feel temporary and disposable. On top of that, the benefits are simply garbage. Minimal time off, zero family or medical leave, zero support for volunteering, zero diversity & inclusion programs, zero employee resource groups (how could there be, no one will talk to each other). This situation where no one know each other or what anyone else is doing is very strongly reflected in the software they build.

Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

The company has significant issues that make it difficult to recommend as a long-term workplace. HR support is virtually non-existent, leaving employees without meaningful assistance when concerns arise. Favoritism appears to influence decisions more than performance or merit, creating an unfair work environment. There are very few opportunities for career growth, and many employees find themselves in stagnant roles with little chance for advancement. Even when employees consistently exceed expectations and earn recognition, raises are infrequent or nonexistent, making it difficult to feel valued for hard work. Additionally, there is a noticeable lack of professionalism at the management level. Communication, accountability, and leadership standards need significant improvement. Overall, the company would benefit from investing in stronger leadership, a more effective HR department, and a culture that rewards performance fairly.
