Don't come: Great people, horrible management

Software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

The people I worked with are excellent and very talented. All the employees are wonderful.

Cons

Leadership is horrible. They have no vision for the product and are inept and making the correct decisions. They also have a huge ego about themselves and refuse to listen to the people. Don't come here.
