Pros

This USED TO be a great place to work at. Smart people, Management was approachable, new ideas were encouraged, everybody got along really well. I looked forward to going to work every morning.

Cons

Another reviewer pointed this out. Over the last couple of years, there have been some changes to the senior leadership team. In Technology, only "friends" of the leadership were given benefits and roamed free. Others were let go, unfairly accused of poor performance. The new product team only hired from the leadership's close network. See interview reviews - this does reflect the problem. Plenty of favoritism going around, leading to a poor culture and work environment.

Pros

I was a software engineer, and the team was top tier. Really smart people with really great ideas. Everyone got along fabulously, and no one, I felt, thought they didn't belong. I felt included and appreciated by my peers, and that was fantastic. We all learned from one another, and all shared knowledge. That made me want to go to work every day.

Cons

In my time there as an engineer, management was not willing to listen, or act, on suggestions from engineering. They were warned many times regarding issues with our software, such as our flagship product running on a platform several years past EOL. These warnings went ignored in favor of random business initiatives that we had no say in. Towards the beginning of the year during a series of changes, favoritism started to develop. No matter the skill level or output of an employee, if you were not close to management in a personal way, you were driven out with claims of poor performance that were unsubstantiated. Those who were "favorites" of tech management were allowed to roam free and experiment, while everyone else had to just work on what they were given, even though we were all supposed to be a team of peers. I've seen the other reviews here regarding "new toys to play with". In my experience that was far from the truth. When I started, it was hard to even get a computer to work with. The workstations themselves were old and difficult to work on. The development workflow was slow and buggy, and security holes went ignored with no process to discover them. There were no plans in place to replace legacy software at all, resulting in a lot of frustration as poorly written legacy code was prioritized, much to the behest of engineers who found better ways to do things. I will say, things did move towards a more positive stance once the company was merged with another, and some new management came in that really understood the needs of engineering. However, that was too little too late for me, and so I exited as planned prior. Some reviews have mentioned a work from home policy that is very flexible, and reimbursement for educational opportunities. These are new, within the past few months. If they are to remain, then I'd say it's a great place to work, however that is not the experience of folks that have worked there longer and been burnt out.

Pros

Decent benefits package, for now. That will change in January 2019 when new owners' package kicks in. Farewell, bonuses.

Cons

New, domineering management since acquisition by Red Ventures in fall of 2017 Salary and benefit cuts coming Fearful atmosphere Layoffs and more layoffs
