Pros

Free snacks. Open PTO (kinda).

Cons

No work/life balance at all. Either suck it up and work long hours or get laid off. You know those long work hours you put in? Well, they're not going to give you any sort of pay raise, bonus, or some days off or anything...cause that would hurt our bottom line. Currently, they are in a salary freeze and no bonuses will be paid out to employees. EBITDA started not meeting projects so they laid off a bunch of people too (these people literally just disappear from the company. There one day and gone the next). We literally had a company meeting where they said "no one would be laid off" and two weeks later, layoffs.

Pros

Lots of potential across their portfolio. Standard benefits. OK work/life balance (if you're remote). Very interested in creating a culture of improvement - but not necessarily innovation like you'd expect at a software company (See Cons).

Cons

Parent company is way too involved and tries to run this software company like a hardware company (which is most of their portfolio). Aging tech and design of their product portfolio. There was a very toxic political culture when I was there, but that may have changed. Lots of brain drain over the past few years of their most experience leaders and software engineers. No equity (except for some "high potential" hires and some VPs and above... which creates rifts between the haves, the have nots and management - it's common that a high demand new hire gets equity like AI engineers and data scientists, but their manager does not have equity and has to be able to answer questions about their equity as part of their comp.
