Pros

Health benefits were decent. The office is in a beautiful historic building. Management seemed to be doing their best to protect workers from unreasonable demands. Work life balance was pretty good and unlimited PTO was usually respected.

Cons

Horrible workflows, ancient codebase, high employee turnover, poor documentation and very little innovation. I highly discourage entry level devs from spending any long amount of time here. I learned almost nothing that could be applied to any other job. The work on my team essentially consisted of running around patching holes in a legacy codebase full of load bearing garbage, occasionally trying to make incremental improvements that end up revealing just how fragile and poorly conceived the underlying architecture is. This depends on the team, but for me on calls were miserable, got woken up multiple times through the night attempting to diagnose client problems, mind you as a junior dev less than a year out of college. Overall, a kafkaesque nightmare I'm glad to leave in the past.

Pros

Great technology, respected in the industry, great founder story, multiple ERGs and people who care about one another

Cons

Exec team has had a lot of change and a bit of a revolving door and since the founder stepped down a few years ago they're already on the second CEO (chosen by the private equity firm who bought a "significant minority" share of the company. Execs don't seem to like one another and despite some of them having a strong culture in their own departments, it seems to be almost entirely because of their individual executives and not because of cohesiveness among the execs and definitely not because of the head of HR, who seems to have little instinct for people.
