Pros

- Base salary is pretty decent for Atlanta - Strong research group

Cons

- Layoff (May 2018 ) of 23 people happened due to poor top management and inability for the CEO to identify the issues. Not a single top level manager were fired even when it was clear that they were not competent. - Engineering standards are really poor and the Product team is not good at identifying essential features. - Release dates have no correlation with the pending work - Culture is not about 5 letters, it is about making the employees love the company.

Pros

Some smart people to work with. Ability to work from home and good benefit package compared to industry average.

Cons

The company as a whole could have been in a much better place if they knew how to manage growth. All the challenges can be tracked down to the growth hiring frenzy: hire fast, never fire. A lot of key positions were given to incompetent internal and external individuals that lacked the required technical expertise and ethics but because they were either smooth talkers or been long enough in the company they were given decision making positions. Birds of feather flocking together, majority of strategic decisions are made by incompetent people. That led to an unstable product, unhappy employees, talent fleeing away and frustrated customers.

Junior leaders who bully their employees

Pros

The culture is amazing. The people are amazing. Great perks like game nights, free lunch Friday’s and the location is awesome.

Cons

There are a lot of unqualified “leaders” who make it a habit to bully their employees. Management is in severe need of training on managing people. They dismiss any input you give and make up dates for launches to appease customers. Then you get reprimanded when the fictitious dates are not met. There was zero work life balance. Also they are not ok with remote days, even if approved you will get a bad reputation for wanting to work remotely.
