Pros

Company Perks, good laptops and hardware. Not much else.

Cons

Worst company I've ever worked for. Absolutely toxic. Hours, stuffing too many points into sprints, you complain to HR about managers behavior and HR doesn't take it seriously. Flexible time off? Sure, if you aren't swamped with work... Upper management avoids conflict resolution, particularly when it comes to their horrible middle management. HR gives a patronizing review of your issue and puts it on you as to whether you could have resolved the issue, even when painted into a corner. And upon speaking to several other employees across the two teams I dealt with, it seems this is a trend among them.

Pros

Remote work culture Is excellent, innovative tech, company's growth and opportunities to protect clients. Felt fortunate to have worked for this organization that has a strong growth tragectoruy and protects clients.

Cons

Manager/Director level: Poor communication from team manager/director, with little to no direction and the lack of team morale. Team members were on their own after training and most meetings could've been an email. The presence of the director was the equivalent of a virtual bulletin board. No ownership was taken from management to lead or guide the team and no sense of loyalty exists between management and team members. Good talent was squandered due to complacency and lack of direction. Company: Con for the company is the unfortunate lay offs that happened after leaving the company. It's a shame they laid off veterans from my former team. The writing on the wall was apparent, from outsourced new hires to the non-competitive compensation for newer hires. The company went from a fun and competitive start up to a disconnected company trying to emulate tech industry trends and "balances the budget" AKA lay offs, to look good to share holders. For a company that nets huge profits year after year, layoffs shouldn't be part of the reality.
