Pros

Individual teams can be great and the operations folks are a blast to work with.

Cons

Leadership is wildly out of touch. They ask for questions ahead of town halls but then cherry pick only the "easy" ones to answer. CEO refuses to answer questions about his new decisions. Pay is under industry average and work life balance isn't even an illusion. Freeze weekends for holidays are overruled by the CEO so people are forced to miss time with families to support client releases. Benefits are laughable and continue to get worse year over year. Teams keep shrinking due to people not tolerating the (completely unreasonable) workload. Backfilling missing roles is a hard no. They'd rather spread the pain around to whomever is left instead of setting the company up to succeed.

Pros

Quality Managers who care. Very good at mentoring and encouraging your career path. The company as a whole sees quality as a priority.

Cons

Townhalls did not celebrate employees and team accomplishments enough. It seemed to be noticed and improving. Executive team seemed to be disconnected from employees at our level. No bonuses. PTO wasn’t as good as other companies.

Pros

Direct relationship with your immediate boss always seemed to be positive impression ; everyone I spoke with. Very flexible schedule. Solid PTO allotment Individual contributors are genuinely putting in good work and making effort to produce. Just spread thin.

Cons

Needlessly top heavy leadership led to think tanks that never produced meaningful change. No succession planning. Always reactive to a layoff or someone quitting. Institutional knowledge is siloed into one or two individuals on each team. Insanely low pay Low comp for market. Pay is incompatible with level of skill or contribution. Everyone gets roughly the same annual increase. Punitive RTO policy that overreaches on who’s included for a hybrid model. your in office time will be spent on virtual meetings. Feel like it’s intended to justify spending money on a new HQ office, and “updates” to other locations.
