Pros

Solid health insurance options and retirement savings plan (6% contribution) WFH policies are reasonable and respected

Cons

Strategic/Vision problems: No clear strategic direction - Acquires companies like LogicWorks but fails to commit resources needed to scale them properly "Everything to everyone" mentality - Leadership spreads organization too thin across multiple service lines without focus or prioritization Acquisition integration failures - Buys companies for their expertise, then underinvests in the very capabilities they acquired Short-term thinking over long-term investment - Won't allocate resources needed to build sustainable hyperscale business despite market opportunity Leadership lacks strategic focus - tries to be everything for everyone rather than excelling in core areas Acquired LogicWorks to strengthen AWS and GPC capabilities but won't invest resources needed to scale hyperscale business Frustrating for talented employees who want to execute but can't get leadership support

Pros

Well meaning product team and some good key personnel.

Cons

It's hard to list them all. The place is a cluster gaggle and mainly driven by shortsighted sales motions. Most senior leadership decisions are just guess work. A lot of their key business and technical players left because it's such a clown show. The 'District 1' team or those who 'bend the knee' get promoted, while the company bleeds revenue and loses customers. Escalating issues to a skip level is useless. The culture and gate keepers from the other acquired company are toxic. They don't have the time or the talent to fix the company in it's current state.
