Pros

Simple job tasks, fairly straight forward work.

Cons

No one working here cares. Nothing is urgent or important. Even my own coworkers only respond to inquiries 1/3 of the time. The corporate culture seems to be, don’t respond or pass the buck. I began working here after they cut the 401(k) match, but I can’t help feeling it probably contributes to the general lackadaisical outlook of most employees. Also, the pay is terrible. My salary is $25,000 less than the same role I had previously at a different company. Due to the pandemic, everyone is still pretty much working remotely. When I received my new hire laptop and login instructions, they were completely illegible. The packet of paperwork I received was printed intermittently, as if the printer was almost out of ink, but no one cared to change it. This pretty much sums up what it’s like working here day to day.

Pros

The people and culture are generally supportive, and it’s easy to find teammates willing to help you succeed. The work feels mission-driven, which adds a sense of purpose and makes day-to-day projects feel meaningful. Overall, it’s a stable environment where you can build solid experience!

Cons

Some processes can take a bit longer due to multiple layers of review and approvals, which is understandable in a structured environment. This can occasionally slow momentum when timelines are tight, but with clear communication and planning it’s usually manageable. Over time, you learn how to navigate the cadence and keep projects moving forward.

Pros

My direct manager and team was mostly great I had a lot of autonomy about how I did my job The clients are mostly good

Cons

Some bad behavior goes unpunished by management, not always a great audit chain on things Everything here takes a ton of time and is a production, a new service that was supposed to launch in March is now indefinitely delayed for no good reason. Feels like there is a lot of finger pointing on why things aren't moving forward CEO is very concerned about being a "cool guy"
