Pros

- The people are very nice - You can get a second job and they won’t notice - Remote work - Unlimited PTO (I was able to take a vacation once a month) - No technical interview since I was a diversity hire - A good filler on your resume if you want to work at a more prestigious company and need to get some experience in - Didnt see any of the racism that people mentioned on the other reviews

Cons

- Terrible management - Company either is too greedy and keeps all profits to itself or doesn’t make enough money, which is not what I’ve been told - so that must mean the company is greedy since the pay is low - Paying engineers way below average - Favoritism - Fired maybe half of their staff in one day, and this is has happened multiple times in the history of the company - so NO guarantee that you will have a job the next day (it happened on a Wednesday with no warning- I was not affected) - As a engineer you have to do everything: make tickets, be the product owner (because bad PO), be the tech lead (there’s no tech lead), be the scrum master, and demo to stakeholders - that’s right - developers demo to stakeholders. - No attention to the team, or the product - no one cares if the product is bad - and they definitely don’t care about the app reviews - Incompetent coworkers - probably due to lack of management - No tech lead - If you work “hard” no one notices or cares, no reward/ motivation/inspiration - Moving people onto different teams very often - You will probably have to work during lunch or overtime - Sometimes late night meetings depending on the team you’re on around 7pm - No overall direction/goal - Hiring/Firing mess - Terrible code and architecture to work with, something that should take a day will take a week - and yes you will be banging your head on your keyboard quite often - No care for technical debt/health - They are always bragging about crypto but they actually don’t really do much in the crypto space - What is the crypto team even doing??? There is no goal for economic empowerment - just the whole company trying to stay afloat - Company does not care about you

Pros

Good work life balance. Remote work.

Cons

Bad management. Old technology. Very large bureaucratic structure where ratio between productive employees and deadwood decreases over time. No opportunity to get promoted. Racial discrimination where if you are white (not Cuban or not from India) you are discriminated.
