Great Product, Not amazing culture or teams.

Pros

Pay was competitive and the facilities are great. The product itself is genuinely meaningful and easy to get behind. I worked alongside some few talented, good-hearted people — unfortunately, many of them eventually left due to the culture issues described below.

Cons

There are way to many people who are extremely toxic and self serving there. Whether it was within my own team or interacting with others many were only looking out for their own teams interest. Toxic people are left alone by management due to perceived need or viewed as hard to replace. This resulted in multiple good people leaving to avoid it. Instead of dealing with it they let it fester for years. This creates the sense for these people that they are untouchable because in a sense they are. Many I would consider instances of harassment. We went through multiple rounds of layoffs during my time there and they crippled the morale of the company. Made a bit more doom and gloom and it was hard to bounce back from. Health insurance was sub par compared to other companies and industries.

A toxic Work environment and Company that can't make decisions.

Pros

Great Science and Great start up Benefits. Promote only working 9am to 5pm PST and not more.

Cons

No one from IT Leadership and each business stakeholders units can make decisions. Due to poor leadership, it's an endless loop and toxic work environment. Business stakeholders are not held accountable for their lack of decision making. Freenom has a culture where you are required to document and cover your behind to protect yourselves from poor leadership and lots of Business Process owners that love to throw people under the bus verse take responsibility and do their job. If you speak up and ask for help, you are given an vague unhelpful answer and are still blocked. IT Leadership loves to make excuses verse look at the realistic and capabilities in front of them. I assume this company is going to be acquired soon with the new CEO that only joins companies to be acquired. They should be a cheap buy.

Pros

* Nearly everyone I worked with was incredibly talented & kind. Co-workers made working there worthwhile * There's somewhat flexibility on the projects

Cons

* Top-down heavy. I don't get why each manager has 1-2 IC * The CEO is not as charismatic as he thinks
