Pros

- Tech stack can be interesting to work on depending on the team - Some very sharp coworkers that are passionate about technology - Flexible working hours which promotes a good work-life balance

Cons

- Compensation has not kept up with the surrounding market - Promotions are scarce with a preference to hire from the outside - There is no product direction and no one is held accountable for a lack of research before attempting to go to market with unreasonable timeline expectations - Critical failures at all levels of management to deal with employees that cannot pull their weight

Pros

Break room is good and there are a handful of talented people there. Easy work. Very hard to get fired, no matter how much you phone it in. Good if you want to coast.

Cons

Incompetence from middle management and absolutely no one is held accountant at any level. Bad apples go unchecked and there are repercussions for speaking up. Product has no clue what to do with the products and just throw things at the wall, hoping something will stick. As a result, employees spin their wheels or twiddle their thumbs. Additionally, any dealer with a harebrained idea can likely get it through if they know Dale because nobody on the product team has a clearer direction.

The Cox culture is one of openness and while we don%E2%80%99t know the specifics of your challenges, we appreciate the feedback you%E2%80%99ve shared here concerning leadership and accountability. These are both areas of focus for us, in fact, the ISS organization has recently taken steps to evolve our product & engineering operating model and our release train structure which will position us to operate as one ISS Product and Engineering team moving towards a common goal and will build on the strength of everyone. This new model will also strengthen our lines of accountability across all levels of the organization. We are sorry your experience with us fell short of your expectations and wish we could have addressed it together. We appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts here and wish you the best.
