Pros

* There are still a few brilliant and fun people left... for now * Full-time remote still is an option... for now * Flex time off really does seem to be legit

Cons

TrainingPeaks joined forces with sibling company TrainHeroic earlier this year, under TrainHeroic leadership. * The new Engineering leadership is unequipped to deal with a product as large as TrainingPeaks * Leadership's values are misguided (no, the count of code releases is NOT a measure of productivity or success) * All of the newly-implemented "process" is a waste of time * Though a promise of the reorganization was to focus on projects and see them through, the constant priority-shifting makes my head spin * Some of the upcoming plans to increase revenue strike me as recipes for disaster

Pros

There are several smart, productive people remaining, along with good learning opportunities. The company has made public its intent to be part of important social changes. There are still some great athletes with the company, though that number will continue to dwindle. TP held a market-leading position for many years, and still has some loyal followers.

Cons

Since its cofounders were replaced by an angel investor, the company has failed to deliver interesting features that would hold the interest of customers. The main focus has been on developing performance review spreadsheets, creating internal processes, and continually reorganizing teams. Meanwhile, competitors have developed compelling alternatives and are gaining market share. The many benefits that once made TP unique have been eliminated, replaced by a possible bonus, subject to your manager's whim. A recent focus on "high performance" negatively impacts work/life balance and team dynamics. On the engineering side, the main problem is the acceptance of dictatorial rule by a deliberately rude Chief Engineer. If you're okay with someone else exerting total control over every aspect of what you do, and don't mind verbal abuse, this might be the right place for you. There's been an exodus of knowledge (voluntary and involuntary) as a result.
