Pros

- flexible PTO - a few great products

Cons

- terrible pay, removal of bonuses, SOME employees get a 3ish% raise every year - terrible communication from management team - lots of secrecy and smoke & mirrors around the future of jobs at this company - current strategy is firing all US/England talent to hire cheaper in India - "agile company" with a top-down approach - this is not a tech company. this is an acquisition company. the product is not important to the company. - September update: newly locked down computers so employees can't use any software beyond what is approved. Lack of trust. - no opportunities for promotion or growth unless someone above you leaves or gets fired (both very likely in this environment)

Good management, bonus opportunities, training

Cons

The pay is low. Staffing isn’t enough to meet workload, no performance based raises for entry level employees, and very few promotions available
