Pros
It was once a great place to work, with co-workers I considered friends, and founders that I trusted.
Cons
The company was recently acquired by ESW Capital for their Skyvera portfolio. ESW is a rather secretive, privately-held equity firm based in Texas, and information about them is hard to come by online. They buy up software companies, move a lot of the technical expertise to offshore workers, and raise the price of the software license for existing customers while also trying to upsell them on their other products. If ESW's acquisition of Jive is any indication, ESW will crush Bonzai's culture and slowly erode the customer base. During this acquisition, longtime employees who had years of technical expertise were let go, with a "generous" severance package equal to the minimum required by BC labour law. Post-acquisition, there will be serious technical debt that the new offshore workers will need to overcome quickly if they want to maintain the same level of service to our clients. I don't see this happening.
