Pros

- A culture aimed towards enjoying yourself while in the office - Youthful workplace - The colleagues I worked with were awesome - If you want to take ownership of something, you can (as long as someone else doesn't want to own it as well) - Their were bright and motivated early-career engineers - They'll feed you and get you drunk - Plenty of social events around the work week

Cons

- Unfair hiring process, a fair bit of nepotism - Hostile work culture, instances of bullying in the guise of jokes/memes/presentations - Even by industry standard, poor standards of diversity and inclusion - Some roles/concepts are new to the business and can be an "uphill battle" to get them considered equitably - Low ownership of work after delivery, management encourages "*just* ship it" - Compensation is low - Heavy drinking culture - Arrogant attitude towards position in market - Poor work life balance if you're in a high ownership/responsibility (but low comp) role - Not clear how to progress inside the company

Pros

- Very ambitious group of people who want to do big things. - Smart in their respect to software development. From what I've heard, it's a good place for young professionals to get some useful experience under their belt. - Casual dress code and monthly happy hours (before the pandemic).

Cons

- Management needs to be more unified in their decisions, since there is no single CEO that the company reports to. - Well-thought-out plans were not implemented. Management doesn't do enough research on strategic decisions before they are made. They will get an idea and run with it before talking with department heads to see if it makes sense or what the repercussions will be. - Not enough transparency with their employees. Undermining managers by talking to their subordinates without the manager's knowledge. - Management seems to care more about the time spent at your desk as the signifier of productivity. - The Chicago office is left messy and unkept on a regular basis (was not like this before the merger). There's a big lack of respect for the shared space of the kitchen.
