Pros

Hybrid schedule, occasionally work on cool stuff

Cons

Extremely poor leadership has seen the company lose almost half of its workforce over the past 2 years. As mentioned in other reviews, CEO cut worker's pay 20% when business started going downhill. Bonuses or pay raises are pretty much non-existent too (although the billing rates rose from $110/hr to $170/hr during my tenure). They seem to cycle through new engineering grads as a strategy - they either can't attract nor care to keep the experienced engineers. Overall not a place to plan a career, and probably on its way out

Pros

The people you work with are generally great people. WFH Mondays and Fridays was nice too. One mid-level manager genuinely cares about his employees, but unfortunately that's about it.

Cons

Everyone is replaceable and turnover is ridiculously high. The current CEO earned his position through nepotism, and his lack of experience shows. The management team needed to be replaced years ago, unfortunately the path chosen was just to continually backfill for all the turnover instead of investigating the true root cause. The decision to temporarily cut everyone's salaries 20-30% a year ago was probably the death-knell for the company, although it'll linger on for a few years.
