Pros

-Hard to think of one now, but pre-2020, the office was cool -coworkers were fun and truly friends

Cons

-pay is below market -management has zero idea what they are doing...from CS "leadership" to CEO, it's all politics and trying to get "in" with the CEO. Qualifications don't matter. -processes are non-existent -CS team is being built out in FL so with lay offs the whole CA team was cut. Layoffs happening all throughout company multiple times, including super loyal hard workers...this company does NOT care about its employees -CEOs friends are still all there though, safe from layoffs and any other restructuring, of course. -MWB still having off-sites and happy hours, visible on Linkedin posts after all these layoffs. Shows you where priority is -product can't compete and is not for enterprise.

Pros

- Lots of opportunities for advancement - You learn a lot of new skills and work with the latest technologies - Good benefits

Cons

- No planning, the expectation from higher up in the company is that you can take on any pet project, at anytime. - If you are an engineer or engineering manager, expect that lack of planning to interfere with every sprint, ever. It will become your responsibility. - Unbalanced hiring. There is a hiring freeze for engineers but no such freeze for product managers, analysts, directors, executives, etc. If you are new, you are expected to hit the ground running and take on massive amounts of work.

Pros

Free snacks Good people Bar in office

Cons

Cliquey, they don’t promote off work ethic or numbers. It’s all about who you know. Office politics, if you want to just put your head down and work this is a tough company to work for. Pay is low CFO is a problem. If you e ever worked on the other side of the register or in customer service, this guy isn’t going to resonate with you.
