Pros

Relaxed environment Flexible work hours and location (I've been mostly working from home) Nice and understandable team leads (at least on the front-end team) Most projects don't have hard deadlines The codebase is changing for better

Cons

The massive code base focused on back-end devs slows front-end devs down (it's slowly changing) Groth pains (project/product management is subpar sometimes, a few times unplanned projects get in the way causing some bad times)

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
