Pros

....far away Remote work and actually a few cool teammates managing to survive at the company.

Cons

....like really. Ridiculous place. It's the Upside Down of work environments. Incompetent people thrive and are promoted, high-performing/capable people eventually leave or are pushed out.

Pros

Good pay, easy service to sell to clients

Cons

You are a number and they don't care about you. Basically non existent onboarding. Sales org is very disorganized and can never figure out how to be on the same page (quotas were increased mid quarter and nobody was told). Top performers got laid off May 2024 and incompetent managers were promoted.

Pros

Pay and time off are good. Contact with certain new technologies also helps to keep things interesting.

Cons

Focus on engineering excellence is minimal; you have to fight for it. Work pressure is high, and there's an assumption that things "just" take at most a few days to deliver, no matter the complexity. You must be a generalist, jumping from one ticket to another without deepening your knowledge about any stack. Management at all levels fears the CEO and does not allow sincere conversations on Slack. If you start a meaningful thread about an important topic, someone will interrupt it and say it should happen over Zoom (probably out of fear the CEO or middle management lurks in the channel). Contrary opinions are not welcome, and it got some people fired in the last layoffs. Overall not a culture of improvement.
