Pros

Working from home was awesome, the home office stipend was very helpful as well. I worked a few with great people.

Cons

Company President is highly unprofessional, condescending, disrespectful and just plain rude. On the few occasions I spoke to him directly, he was awful. I was genuinely shocked at the way he spoke to me. I was told that's just how he is and to deal with it basically. He is also lacking in leadership skills, clearly. "Right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing" should be the company slogan. I was laid off and there were immediately postings for positions hiring already on the website. Instead of cross-training or trying a new position, they would rather let go overqualified people to train new employees they could hire for LESS salary. I was asked to do a Glassdoor review like 2 weeks into employment, of course I liked the job then and I felt obligated. That review was irrelevant and since deleted. They PRESSURE you to specifically leave a glassdoor review, I wasn't the only one they asked for this.

Pros

The flexibility and remote work environment are some of the biggest positives. The people across the company are smart, collaborative, and genuinely good to work with, making it easy to learn from others and work through challenges together. I really appreciate the managers who have been great coaches who genuinely invest in helping employees grow and develop in their careers.

Cons

Priorities and processes can shift quickly , so adaptability and a willingness to ask questions are important to be successful. The fast moving nature of a smaller/medium sized business environment may not be the right fit for everyone, but for people who enjoy being part of a company that can pivot quickly and continue evolving, it can be a very rewarding place to work.

Pros

Co-workers within teams can be friendly and respectful. There's commonly situations where issues can be remedied and improvements made which they can work towards. There's still people who want to get a good product to the customer.

Cons

Leadership continues to show disrespect for employees, carelessness towards the product, and a high amount of micromanagement. The direction of the company is unclear, whims continuing to steer top management while the actual work has to be completed. This lack of focus causes clashes between teams, uneven workloads falling on select teams, then management seeing that as a failure of that team, not a failure of responsibilities being distributed across the entire company. Off-shoring has added onto this, creating new issue, which anyone entering the company needs to expect.
