Pros

-some of the best people I've worked with -good PTO policy (only some teams able to take advantage) -remote work

Cons

-20% layoff in the summer, 15% layoff winter/spring of 2023, starting to outsource roles to Costa Rica where they can pay less -company culture has trended downward big time over the past year - only focus is on IPO -very messy leadership, extremely poor financial decision making -inconsistently reliable product

Pros

A growing, successful tech company. Convenient way to get your foot in the door in the industry. Good for entry-level experience. Fast-paced, cool office, perks similar to other tech companies in the area. The company attracts motivated, hard-working employees. Free soda.

Cons

High turnover. Low job satisfaction. Below market rate compensation. Nepotism. Lack of upward mobility. High levels of management that seem to encourage and reward toxic behavior.

Pros

They can sell anything, good, bad, or otherwise

Cons

In Q1 2022 they spent hundreds of millions in acquisitions and had 200 open positions with management pushing hard to hire people as quickly as possible. By Q3 2022 they'd instituted a hiring freeze, discontinued product lines, and laid off ~10% of the company. That kind of extreme change in 6 months speaks for itself as a gross failure of basic planning and management.
