Pros

- Some of the most hardworking and talented people I've ever worked with. The people are what has kept me here - Ability to forge your own path and work on a lot of different things - Benefits are great. Wish there were options to buy stock, but otherwise very good

Cons

- Leadership needs to lead. There isn't visibility into the topline strategy of the company so prioritization becomes very hard and results in EVERYTHING being a priority, regardless of the ROI - Acquisitions and large initiatives are done quickly and dropped like bombs with little time to prepare for the work involved to execute. This impacts the workload and creates burnout - "Bad actors" or problematic employees are rarely held accountable. Managers, HR, and leadership would rather ignore it than do something about it - High performers are given more work and expected to carry the load of low performers

Not fun anymore

Pros

The people and the licenses.

Cons

It was fun with it was a small company, but they grew too fast and it was clear that management was not cut out for their new found responsibilities. This led nepotism, general favouritism, and sexism, with a toxic high school mentality and a huge wave gap. Deadlines are insane, you're not allowed to with overtime - just expected to cram 50 hours of work in a 40 hour work week. If you bring up any issues or feedback, you will be gaslit into thinking you're ungrateful and be ostracized by management. They don't care about any disabilities of their workers or their well-being. Really sad because they have what it takes to be a great company, they even once were. But since going public, it's gone downhill fast. This job gave me extreme anxiety. When in office, they would hold meetings the day someone was let go to announce to everyone, airing out all their "wrongdoings". Some of these people were let go without even a warning or the awareness that they had done something wrong. I would not recommend until there's been a major overhaul in leadership and management.
