Pros

There are some good people, but there is not much else positive to say.

Cons

Management and directors are mostly developers with no actual management experience. There is no level of organization or management happening at this company. They only want employees who keep their heads down, stay quiet, cut corners, and do as they are told at all times. Employees have brought these concerns up many times and are either ignored or let go for any level of criticism. Employee and customer morale are down due to a level of chaos that is constant and encouraged by management. Industry standard design and best security practices are ignored for the simplest and fastest solutions to deliver on deadlines that serve purely to stroke management's ego. There has also been incidents of sexual harassment by managers that went ignored for months, and when finally handled, the management in question still received a "Thank you for your service" email as they were asked to resign. There were also incidents where US labor rights were violated such as being directed to not discuss salaries amongst employees.

Pros

- Flexible working and mostly good people. - Many people who work there have worked in emergency services roles, so they understand the products and customers well.

Cons

- Can't trust management and can't speak true feelings for fear of being fired for saying something they didn't like hearing. - Absolutely zero care for working parents with young children - they are getting rid of them all (mostly the moms) and only hiring people with no kids, or the few that do have kids are teenage and up, which has been blatantly obvious. Guessing it's because older kids don't require their parents much, so they are never taken away from work. - Getting rid of so many people with no interim plans, causing massive workloads and unknown processes for those that were "safe." - Pay is low. - There is no clear direction of the company, only layoffs, broken products, upset customers, and unrealistic goals. - Used to be a great place to work, but upper management changes have ultimately caused things to go downhill fast.
