Pros

Casual dress code, young employees (many fresh out of college) you also get free lunch. Benefits are good and management is flexible with personal time.

Cons

Really uncompetitive salary even though the company desires to attract top talent, and an unrealistic expectation that you will go the extra mile and give up your personal time. The company rarely gives a good raise but they try to keep you on the hook with tiny yearly raises. Management could care less when you give your two week's notice no matter what you've done for the company or how long you've been there -- they know a new round will be graduating college next year. This is not a good place to grow your career because you will start very low and there is no room to get on a good team. Like 98% of us, you will sit down infront of a legacy system which is boring to maintain.

Pros

WorkWave is truly one of the best work environments I’ve experienced. The company has strong momentum, a modern product vision, and a culture that makes you feel excited about where things are headed. What stands out most is the forward‑looking strategy, supportive teams, and leadership that communicates openly and invests in people. There’s real trust, autonomy, and a shared sense of ownership across the organization.

Cons

Truly none worth noting here.

Pros

The unlimited pto and remote work is the only thing that keeps people

Cons

Basically the entire leadership and manangement. 2 years ago they company went under a massive leadership shift and it was not for the better. Workwave used to have an amazing culture people actually enjoyed working there. Now your just another number that leadership doesnt care about. Your expected to work late and weekends at the result of poor planning by manangement, work load is way to much, and they are constantly layoffs. How many layoffs do they need before they reach their goal? everyones afraid for their job. Im convinced the positive reviews are from the leadership themselves to boost the ratings here. Not the place it once was and its a shame. The pay is very low too for the staff theyve had for years.
