Could Be a Great Place to Work

Pros

Genuinely some amazing people Great place for graduates to get on the ladder Shares are a great investment plan Good benefits Ok Salary Internal mobility to get away from the proprietary language Agile coaches to advance teams

Cons

Ruinous middle management in some teams. Policy of 'owning your own career' while well intended at the top, is get out of jail free card for middle management to not do their job. While there are some amazing people, rapid growth led to the original culture becoming diluted. Poor work / life balance. Proprietary language limits external career opportunities. Incidents of bullying and bad managerial conduct are not dealt with.

Great company with deteriorating culture

Pros

Overall, a great company to work for. Co-founders are well-respected individuals. High growth, rapid expansion and lots of opportunities. Friendly working environment and lots of social activities for workmates. Well-stocked lunch rooms and regular Friday happy hours. Dog friendly.

Cons

More politics than before, and some have individual or team agenda instead of working toward company goals. The company is made up of mostly employees who were hired in the past 2 years. Miss the team spirit and selfless commitment that took the company public.

Pros

A small group of nice people. Fun events. Great snacks & drinks. Few great leaders like Lynn Christensen, Betsy Bland & Jacqueline Brown.

Cons

Entitled employees that feel that they can say and do anything. Passive aggressive behavior. Promotions based on technical skills not factoring in interpersonal skills mostly bad managers
