Bait and Switch- watch out!

Pros

Work from home, fun colleagues

Cons

Not family friendly, present themselves as a progressive company with unlimited PTO and a supportive team but once you’re in the door everything changes. The Sr Leadership team gossips about each other and their employees- creating a toxic environment. Leaders are encouraged to limit the unlimited PTO. Inclusivity and using correct pronouns gets eye rolls in private meetings. HR complaints are ignored and abusive behavior is encouraged.

Disconnected management and leadership

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Most all individuals are kind and caring, taking their jobs and work seriously. There's a large amount of talent that's underutilized.

Cons

Engineering leadership has dramatically shifted, with 3 well liked and respected managers leaving in the last 6 months due to the current leadership who seems to be sponsored by the executive team. The technical direction and priorities are flaky and available to change at the whim of the executive team given the lack of engineering leadership, and representation on the executive team. Engineering leadership is actively driving folks out of the company while responding to the attrition by enacting further centralization of control and authority. "Empowerment" is often said, but is not done in practice.
