Pros

Competitive pay, lovely teammates, great managers.

Cons

The leadership (David Risher, as well as those immediately under him) is driving the company to the ground. After two layoffs in less than six months, the company morale is at an all time low. Everyone around me is interviewing or have already left. Someone raised this concern to the leadership and all they said was “we are keeping an eye on the situation.” And? Aren’t you gonna do something to keep people from leaving? Oh right, they cut our comp by 10-20%. Great call. By the way, stay away from this company if you’re on H1b and want a green card. I have coworkers who were waiting to file their PERM, but the two layoffs really messed it up, because after each layoff, the company has to wait 180 days before they can file again. The April layoff happened less than 180 days after the November one, so they now have to wait another 180 days. That’s a whole freaking year. And they told me their H1b is only valid for 6 years in total. The leadership clearly doesn’t care about its international employees.

Pros

The compensation is really good. Some projects are actually interrested. Collegues are really strong experts in the field (except few of them).

Cons

Management is terrible. In order to safe company from bankruptcy they do quite strange things. Many projects are dead from the beginning. And because of these some employees are doing fake projects just to be promoted.
