Pros

Flexible schedule. You get paid weekly.

Cons

They claim to value people, but they're holding their employees hostage during the pandemic. They will not let them be furloughed so that they can collect unemployment. Now that business has dropped drastically they're cutting the hours of their employees who have been risking their lives and the lives of their families down below 15 hours a week. The only part of their business which is truly essential is the gas. The only reason why they're staying open is to line the CEO and the boards pockets on the backs of their employees who do not receive a livable wage. They're truly disgusting. Don't listen to the lip service and drink the kool aid stay as far away as you can!

Pros

Great coworkers, everyone was super friendly as a pleasure to work with. My managers and coworkers were all super personable people and I genuinely enjoyed working with them. The ESOP was good historically.

Cons

They have been going through a soft layoff for years. RTO mandate was weaponized against employees, multi-year promotion/hiring freeze, constant scare tactics being used by senior leadership, etc. Lines of code was being used as a metric to judge engineers, and no one knew if having more or less was better. We were told it was to "build a story", if your lines of code varied significantly between months then your review would reflect that. No serious engineering department does that, this is just an arbitrary number they can point to if they want to fire you. If you argued against it, you were seen as insubordinate.
