Pros

Growing technology company. Senior management is really behind the Agile transformation that started about a year and a half ago. Friendly, helpful colleagues and not a lot of obvious politics. Good work/life balance with the opportunity to work from home twice a week. Not a lot of red tape to get the tools and technology that you need. Excellent 401k and Employee Stock Purchase Plan and twice a year bonuses. Professional Development allowance each year for training classes or conferences. Lots of business growth potential in the marketplace should make the company viable for years to come.

Cons

While the best talent anywhere policy is great, it is sometimes hard to get used to working with remote teammates and coordinating across different time-zones etc. Occasionally work will fall into "have to get it done" instead of following true agile practices. Depending on the product and team, could be working with older technology and architecture. Some sub-par benefits, PTO time is lower than at other companies I work at (although the wfh does help offset that a bit), health insurance premiums are a little high, company paid for life insurance is less than 1x salary, and have to pay for part of own short-term disability insurance. Getting bonuses are nice, but no visibility into how they are calculated.

Pros

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Cons

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
