Pros

Unlimited PTO and many holiday days off Reimbursement policy Insurance Can pick up some new skills

Cons

-Most of the Managers do not truly listen to issues and most lack empathy. You are NOT a good manager if you don’t have it. -The pay structure is unimpressive compared to other tech companies especially when you actually have true skills. -People don’t get paid what they deserve. Either too much or not enough. -Favoritism is a wild theme here. Leads to poor morale. I guess friends come first. -Getting lied straight to your face is disrespectful, especially regarding work feedback. -The turnover rate has gotten out of hand. That needs to be talked about seriously. -Seems like only the sales team is cared about, even though other teams keep things running as well. However, I’ve heard from many sales staff members regarding bad treatment.

Pros

Pay and benefits were pretty good. Only reason I stayed.

Cons

Chaotic leadership. People are constantly busy doing things that don't matter as there is no clear understanding of what the strategy is or what success looks like.
