Pros

There are some really smart, hardworking people scattered throughout the company. A solid amount of starting vacation time as well as remote opportunities were also a great plus.

Cons

Leadership. The VPs and CEO and other upper-level management can't agree on anything and instead focus on acquiring more power than the others. I can't name a single product that benefitted from any of the upper-level managers' leadership. The people that do all the work eventually wise up and leave when they get a better opportunity. Structure. There is no defined career path and managers always hired out instead of promoting people from within. I requested for a career path mutliple times over my time here and got multiple answers from mutliple people. This shows that they don't care about people growing here. All the VPs were hired from the outside even when more qualified people were already present in the company. Benefits. Even though the vacation time and remote work is very nice, the other benefits are below average. There's no motivation to stay because leadership does not reward loyalty in the slightest. Your benefits do not get better with seniority. Value. If you work here and are not in upper-level management, realize that you are a foot soldier. The upper-level managers will not consider your opinion in decisions because they don't respect you. You can easily be replaced from their point-of-view.

Pros

The company provides an environment where growth and development are truly encouraged. I am equipped with the necessary tools, mentorship, and autonomy to grow and make a meaningful impact. The leadership is exceptional, with executives who are transparent, approachable and care about employee well-being and success. They set a clear vision for the company while ensuring everyone feels valued and heard.

Cons

I can't think of any cons at the moment, considering the strong focus on personal growth and a collaborative work culture. Overall, this company provides a dynamic and rewarding work environment with plenty of opportunities to thrive.

Pros

Well paid; industry-leading technology; intelligent, friendly, and helpful coworkers; remote-work friendly.

Cons

Upper management infighting with sometimes confusing directives, micromanagement, laid off nearly the entire development team when major project was complete, indicating a low interest in continued development of the platform, despite communicating the opposite.
