Pros

The product and tech stack is good Pays well

Cons

-Work stress is a lot - The performance is reviewed as a bell curve so there’s always a sense of comparison with your peers more then it should be -Operates like a startup and almost every task is a priority - there is zero time given to ramp up if coming from a different tech stack - there is strong expectation on doing managerial work as coordinating with teams, making jira tickets and leading planning and grooming meetings, respond to client doubts - unlimited vacation is a scam. The deadlines and workload is so much it will make you feel guilty to take leaves as you will lag behind your peers during performance reviews

Pros

Good pay and benefits Flexible PTO RSU's

Cons

Company morale is low. The other recent reviews stating this are extremely accurate. Company culture has eroded and the company values don't seem to matter anymore. 'Winning Right' has become lip service. Senior leadership refuses to address the problems many departments are having with headcount and workload. They don't really care about the customer experience. RTO makes no sense when most of your team remains remote in the same role, a role in which you spend much of the time on calls with customers and meeting with other team members virtually. Not enough staff to support the RMS customer base and ticket counts have ballooned.
