Pros

Teammates are friendly and actively trying to make things better. We all want the company to succeed and to enjoy our work.

Cons

Leadership is failing this company. Over the past two years, morale has plummeted, workload has increased, and the company has flatlined. Eric claims to care about quality, yet every initiative we receive boils down to delivering as much work as quickly as possible with barely enough resources to get the work done. We are frustrated, overworked, and increasingly not proud of the products we're shipping, and when we inevitably release bad experiences, leaders point the finger at everyone but themselves. There is a shocking lack of vision and "yes-man" attitude from leadership, resulting in constant shifts in strategy and scope. I feel like I have permanent whiplash. My organization is grossly understaffed and under-resourced. Leaders constantly insert themselves into our process which adds unnecessary bureaucracy to every task. Every product is being micromanaged by leaders who refuse to delegate to skilled employees and trust them to release good products without interference. This stifles innovation and culture. Finally, there is a serious disrespect for employees' time, both personally and professionally. We're expected to be available at all hours of the day, greatly sacrificing work-life balance to deliver "at the speed of Zoom," and when people complain about this we're basically told that it's our responsibility to manage our time and avoid burnout – there's zero effort from leadership to address this culture.

Pros

Nothing about this company is worth noting.

Cons

One of the worst companies I have worked at. Management and leadership are disorganized and unsupportive. Employees get treated like dogs and are talked down to. No work life balance because everything is an escalation or because some “head” requested something. For a company so well regarded, they sure know to how be cheap and take away benefits. Parental leave is basically a slap you in the face. Comp is high but expect to have that dangled in your face or else you get let go. On site lunch and breakfast is nice but how much can you sugar coat the terrible work conditions with little snacks? Everything is such a mess. I’ve been here for almost 7 months and have not met a single person that enjoys their job. DO NOT JOIN ZOOM!
