Pros

You will make a lot of friends here. The line employees are nice, and the new offices are quieter than the old open plan.

Cons

Management does not listen. Anyone that suggests improvements or "challenges" management is warned then asked to leave. As a result the software is mediocre at best, sales is untrained in the products, product management wants no input, and professional services is hobbled. There is very very high turnover. High performers come in then leave, or are asked to leave. Average and below average employees remain. There is a culture of failing upwards as well.

Pros

WFH policy and great coworkers.

Cons

Role eliminated while executives and higher-ups spend ridiculous amounts of money on travel to "conferences", while transitioning the team to all contract/external employees to alleviate "budgeting" costs. Leaders continue to appease to higher-ups and C-level executives without a care or understanding of current team dynamics to protect themselves in a cutthroat and toxic environment filled with corporate politics. 0 growth for internal designers at below market salaries (20-25%) and below average benefits- when mentioned to leaders, profits are increasing YOY, yet the discussion becomes a "let's circle back" while 10+ contractors are immediately brought on board.
