Pros

Flexible work life and vacation. Somewhat decent salary but yearly increases are minimal.

Cons

No growth for tenured employees. You can be in the same position for 10 years without any natural progression in your career path. The only way to move up is to apply to a position once it becomes available. Those positions mostly are people management positions and the company seems to hire those without any proper people management skills. Management will also let their talented individuals leave the company without trying to keep them. Everyone seems replaceable. The New York office is also segregated from the rest of the company. There's minimal HR presence and no culture to be had. That office has become a very sad place to work on a daily basis. Senior Management are either fully remote or hide out in their offices. No product innovation. The current product and project management team keep recycling the same product based on a reactions in the industry. These teams need a major overhaul with talented individuals keen on developing the best software and experience possible. 1999 called, they want their website back.
