Thank you for your review. It's unfortunate to hear about your perceived disconnect from the product team - I'm not sure if it has been well communicated cross-functionally but they do intentionally invest in a lot of things to stay closely engaged with our customers - many calls, in-person meetings/visits, research projects, and our customer advisory board. Proactively improving quality and fixing known issues is always a focus, and we will continue to make sure that remains the case and gets investment.

Ups and Downs and Downs

Pros

- great work/life balance - no pressure to work long hours. - a minority of the employees are really engaged and kind and working to make life at work better. That minority rules! - software has some innovative features, even if it struggles in quality sometimes.

Cons

- a product that is not well-loved by the company or its customers (let's be honest: nothing in this space is "loved by customers"; it's just less crappy than its competitors) - politics between departments can be pretty crappy; there is a definite "us vs them" mentality at play. - the good parts of company culture are entirely bottom-up: game nights, social bike rides etc are organized by employees, not management. - career advancement here seems to be predicated on threatening to quit, rather than on awesome achievements
