Great remote employer

Pros

Invisionapp is a great company to work for. It has a great vision, friendly employees, and great potential. It's growing fast, and there are a lot of opportunities to add value to the business.

Cons

Top down, waterfall development process. Late engineering feedback in design cycle. Deadlines degrade the quality of work- reduces our products reliability, and increases engineers frustration. It's not very bad, and it can certainly be improved.

Pros

Where to begin? When I started, I wondered if InVision could live up to the hype because everything just sounded too good to be true. Having been here now for a few months I can say with confidence that expectations have been exceeded! The people within the company are super smart, collaborative, and humble. Management shows an active and genuine interest in growing each individual to their fullest potential. I am trusted to do my job but my direct manager consistently is there to support me and help if I need it. Since I started about four months ago, I have already met my team in person and been involved with committees and projects outside the scope of my day to day role. InVision is also very generous by investing in things that aren't necessary, but make a huge impact. In addition to the investment the company makes to an internal appreciation program where employees can dole out micro-bonuses to each other, they are also matching donations in our annual charitable giving program. Also, the entire company from around the world is getting together in a few months to meet in person. It's also exciting to be a part of the growth! Not to mention an awesome product that is creating a huge buzz in the design world. It's easy for a company to drop the ball in some respect while in hyper-growth mode but it's really impressive that InVision puts such active and consistent efforts into the product, clients, and employees at once.

Cons

As expected with the remote nature of the company, clear and open communication can be challenging. It can be frustrating when information or changes that affect my day-to-day job gets communicated to some people involved but not to all. The latest Employee Engagement survey was overwhelmingly positive but this was one aspect that was addressed and the company is actively working to fix.

Toxic leadership organization-wide

Pros

Some of the team members are awesome to work with. In some roles, you'll have the opportunity to learn a decent amount. And the company's clout looks good on a resume. The fanboys are rabid.

Cons

Leadership is horrible across the board, and it trickles down into everything. No clear roadmap, dictatorial style from the top down (the CEO just does what he wants and forces everyone to do what he wants, no room for disagreement, ever, even if it means ruining people's lives by making them work insane hours, weekends, and overtime for no reason other than a random whim), and any disagreement is seen as being negative. Salaries are all over the place. No consistency or adherence to market rate. Total bro culture. If you're not 'in' with the cool kids, you're screwed. They hire their (unqualified) friends behind the scenes without anyone else a chance. Being 'in' means being a puppet who doesn't ever make waves or is ambitious. Zero professional growth. If you have your own thoughtful ideas about how to do thing, unless leadership agrees, which they probably won't, forget it. Want to move up? Get good reviews, work hard, do good work... and be rewarded with sub-market rate pay and no career path or opps to advance, but you'll get lots and lots of promises about possibilities that never materialize. For InVision, all that matters is the bottom line. They present themselves as being collaborative, friendly, family-like -- it's a facade. At the end of the day, top level leadership just barks orders and you either do it or you're ostracized. Like other reviews say, pay attention to the negative reviews here. You'll see a trend about leadership. They padded this account with positive reviews by requesting reviews from newer-ish employees, but if you have ambitions to grow and want to be respected, look elsewhere.
