Pros

- Measly gym membership reimbursement

Cons

- Communications from C suite was consistently terrible disingenuous nonsense - Could not seek pay review without C suite approval - Pay is bad - No sense of job security, their business model is to buy companies and try to work out ways to farm out development to India - All infrastructure designed for Sales, they do not like software developers, they do not make good software - Mark Barrenechea comes across as completely disconnected from the real world. Everything is buzzwords to impress shareholders, no substance - Tried to ram AI into every product whether it was a good idea to or not - they don't care about making a good product, just impressing investors
