Pros

Not many these days. It's sad to see what Usablenet has become. The organization is losing everything.. clients, integrity, and good employees. The perks are similar to any tech company (free snacks, gym membership, mobile phone, ping pong table, happy hours) but these are not adequate reasons to join.

Cons

WARNING - extremely high turnover. Frequent layoffs accross all teams / departments. It's sad to see so many talented and amazing people quit or get fired. Linkedin stats shows company growth declined over 30% since last year alone. This is a result of poor management and consistent decline in revenue. AM's and PM's are setup for failure before their first day. Each day is spent dealing with furious / unhappy clients who are waiting for their contracts to expire. Good luck trying to sell / manage projects in a situation like that. Obsolete technology that can't compete in today's market.. company has failed and refuses to adapt. Big name clients are leaving or only working with us in reduced capacity. Don't be fooled by the client list on the website.."goin responsive" is today's buzzword. C-level has no strategy or vision for the future except Assistive and QA Services? This is a joke and will not save the company. Your employees have lost all confidence. Management is clueless.

Pros

The organizational culture is exceptional—the Head of Human Resources genuinely cares about employees, and the VP of Sales stands out as one of the most honest and thoughtful leaders I've encountered. The company strikes a great balance in size: it's small enough that leadership in Marketing, Finance, and Legal are consistently accessible via email, yet large enough that someone is always available to handle urgent issues across time zones. Even though the organization operates fully remotely, teamwork is seamless, and unnecessary meetings are minimized, making work efficient and focused. Senior management is experienced, but also young enough to be trusted with navigating the rapid changes coming to technology in the next five years.

Cons

The organization strongly prioritizes efficiency, meaning company perks such as retreats, swag, and merchandise are minimal. Because the team is highly skilled, new hires must be prepared to hit the ground running to succeed. Additionally, the relatively flat, egalitarian structure might not appeal to individuals accustomed to the hierarchical ranking systems common at FAANG companies.
