Pros

Lots of equal opportunity, Laid back work environment (for engineers anyway), Excellent communication with management, Growth expectations are laid out clearly with steps to obtain such growth, Super friendly and understanding employees a REAL family environment. Total support for things that happen in your personal life without chewing PTO (Just be available on teams and phone calls if they come up), Plenty of time off and benefits. All and all, its solid.

Cons

New leadership changes have caused a complete U-turn in our path and complete disregard of our original story/mission, Inconsistent product development, Purchasing products that leave a lot to be desired (Acquisitions), CEO doesn't have a clue currently and uses his COO to do his job, Creation of made up, never heard before executive positions such as the Chief people officer, not even sure what that is. Transparency has become a bit lacking these days. unrealistic quotas vs previous fiscal years, the CEO is looking for us to be a 5 billion dollar company even though we only just hit 1 billion after many years. CEO is from Microsoft in a previous life and placed us in an ARR plan even though we don't earn microsoft money, He's looking to turn us into Microsoft.

Pros

Pay is good as well as benefits.

Cons

Poor organizational structure and lack of clarity: Roles, responsibilities, and reporting lines were confusing. This made collaboration and accountability very difficult. Nepotism and favoritism in leadership: Upper management heavily favored hiring and promoting people from their previous companies the "buddy system". Loyalty to personal networks appeared to matter more than competence or performance, which created cliques and made nonconnected employees feel like outsiders. Hypocritical company culture: Leadership frequently talked about "employee matters" values, strong culture, and employee well being, but in practice these were not reflected in actions. Layoffs, heavy workloads after staff reductions, and a focus on looking good on paper undermined any real trust. Frequent layoffs and job insecurity: Multiple rounds of layoffs created constant uncertainty. Remaining employees were expected to absorb significantly more work with fewer resources and little recognition or support. Heavy favoritism toward offshoring and lower cost international employees: Upper management strongly preferred hiring or retaining talent in countries with significantly lower cost of living because their lower salaries made departmental budgets and headcount metrics look better on paper. This resulted in U.S. based employees being disproportionately targeted in layoffs or overlooked for retention/promotion.
