Pros

The only Pro would be the unlimited PTO - Since management doesn't really care, you could literally just "work" remotely every day.

Cons

Where does one even begin... They just renamed the company with hopes that a new name will hide the mess that Wyng is. The new senior team is literally from the dot-com era and thinks that by changing the name it will just reboot the company. All the plans are short term plans! The road-maps are fuzzy with no set direction. Half of the employees are either managers or directors (way too many directors) who spend their days in meetings while the rest of the employees do the work. On any given day there are less than half of the current employees in the office, the rest are "working" remotely or they just don't care to show up. Since the senior management doesn't care what is going to happen in a year, they don't really care what the employees do. There are no perks, absolutely no company culture, no growth opportunities, and no career improvement. If you even try to make a suggestion or ask a question in terms of the direction of the company be ready to get screamed at as if you were a child. The mentality is "I'm your boss and just do what you're told to do". There's no exchange of ideas nor team collaboration. Seasoned people are constantly leaving taking with them valuable knowledge and aren't being replaced. If you just need money to pay rent for a couple of months while you find a better job then join them, but don't stay too long, every day working at Wyng will suck years out of your life.

Pros

The team is inclusive, collaborative, funny, innovative, & all-around great. I truly value their expertise & the power of the platform. There's a reason so many incredible accounts trust the team with their web development.

Cons

There's a lot of work felt among the services side of things - but not overall a huge con.
