Pros

Salary 10% above avg on the market

Cons

1. Layoffs. They told us it's because of AI, but after 6 months started to hire in India like crazy. They almost stopped hiring developers in other places. 2. Almost no promotions. Rare ones are given to one's who are politically loud, keen doing nothing else. 3. They stopped giving refreshes to many people based on rules like "25% shouldn't get them", no matter how hard they worked

Pros

Great culture at the peer to peer level. Excellent learning opportunities, good benefits and great name for resume.

Cons

Pretend to be transparent but a lot of smoke & mirrors. Significant cuts to comp plans & commissions that resulted in challenging pay cuts. While salaries were not reduced the OTE is no longer achievable and it’s a difference of thousands monthly, can’t even sell stock because it’s tanked. That being said, we’re disappointed in comp and stock but grateful to be employed because It’s no longer a matter of if you’ll be laid off but when.
