The company is just ridiculous. They treat the employees almost as badly as they treat the customers.

Pros

-Most of the employees are great; as in, they're nice people, not necessarily the most competent -Decent pay/benefits -Casual work environment -Good parties

Cons

-Quick, irrational decisions that affect the customers and customer-facing teams, with little to no forewarning or helpful advice on accommodating the decisions made and resulting consequences (2 Studio session cap = Worst idea ever, way to go) -Constantly being forced to learn and abandon new process/procedures that are not even given enough time to show any positive/negative effect, much less validate the change in the first place -Management teams with members who do not have a college degree, nor any specific skill set to justify the position of authority -Outsourcing to India and having the rest of the company suffer for the mistakes and irritated customers that begin there

It was great until it wasn't.

Pros

Some very intelligent engineers, and a ton of collaboration between QA, Devs, and DevOps. Many places claim to practice CI/CD, this place really does and does it well. Good work from home policy and unlimited PTO, snacks in the offices, usual tech company stuff.

Cons

New management came in a year ago and started slowly cutting corners. People would leave the company and positions would go unfilled. It felt as though management was trying to see how many empty seats we could get away with having. In turn, that leads to more work for everyone that stays around. Morale dropped significantly in my department due to the additional work and lack of hiring, and I (and others) left due to that. Salary is a little lower than average for the industry.

Pros

Mission driven organization working to foster cross cultural communication makes your heart feel good. Unlimited vacation policy is awesome.

Cons

Lots of leadership turnover gives employees whiplash. Newest regime doesn’t actually care if people learn, doesn’t even speak a foreign language and doesn’t respect women.
