Pros

The people and facilitators are generally fun to be around, and they like to make sure people are doing okay. I work with a busted knee, but no medical paperwork, and they still try to make sure I am able to do my job to the best I can. The opportunity to advance is ultimately up to the employee, as you can apply for just about any position from the moment you are hired on. Another thing is, the opportunity for over time is abundant. They offer it almost year round.

Cons

They don't communicate very well with changes to processes. The pay is, while the most I've ever made, still relatively low for production. Another thing is, raises don't stack. From production to trainer is a $2 raise, unless you already got a $.60 raise with your review, then it's $1.40 raise to trainer. During periods of mandatory overtime, they may have you work Saturdays during the day, so you only get one day a week to do the things outside the job you need to do.

Pros

The product and the product problems the company is trying to solve/fix are genuinely interesting, and the peer-level engineering team is full of fantastic, talented people. Pets in the office is also a nice perk.

Cons

Buzzword Innovation: The company wants to lean into software and the AI wave but has no idea what that actually means. Engineering leadership has mistaken using AI chatbots for actual technical innovation and thinks that constitutes building "AI-first products." Detached & Toxic Leadership: Direct management doesn't understand what their technical teams actually do. Leadership & software architecture is also highly toxic, frequently talking down to engineers and dismissing their work. Bloated Management Ratio: Following massive layoffs at the beginning of this year and the frequent high turnover, the engineering team has been reduced to a skeleton crew. Instead of backfilling individual contributors, the company feels it's better off hiring executives, leaving a completely bloated manager-to-IC ratio. Carrot-Dangling & Retaliation: Career growth and compensation are a game of constant carrot-dangling. Leadership claims they want feedback, but honest feedback is met with retaliation or issues being swept under the rug.
