Pros

- Incredible coworkers, peers, and mid-managers. - Solid focus on work-life balance. - Valuable work when the opportunity arises.

Cons

- Product quality is secondary (or third, or seventh) to meeting metrics. They require the use of AI tools to the point where even if it is not helpful, employees are using the tools in irrelevant ways simply to meet metrics that their job performance is evaluated on. - Constant messaging of progressive and supportive rhetoric from leadership that is quietly dismantled or actively worked against in practice. - Lack of transparency when it comes to problematic clients, particularly clients that may have politically charged reputations. Support for these clients is unwavering despite current employees and their families facing turmoil outside of work because of them. No discussion, dialogue, or words of support are offered, and questions are met with silence. - Lack of transparency with concerns about the company trajectory. Leadership is under no requirement to be completely transparent with its employees, however they brand themselves as open for dialogue and then do not follow through. - Aggressive geomixing as a cost-saving measure, which has resulted in a loss of legacy knowledge on our products and significantly slows the development process. - "Penny-pinching" and "belt-tightening" for years with few employee-level upsides to show for it.
