Pros

Typical tech/SaaS/startup environment... snacks for days, fancy water/coffee machines that make anything you could dream up, free lunch, massage chairs, swag to make people feel proud, fancy meeting rooms, ability to work from any office or remote.

Cons

Upper management cannot explain comp plans to save themselves. This is a sales role... sales people like MONEY and knowing how they're able to earn that. If you can't explain how targets and attainment works, how can anyone stay motivated or want to stay? This was easily the biggest mess of a company I've experience, that's too big to fail with government contracts, and perks thrown at employees that makes them second guess wanting to leave. This place also favors the typical woke culture you'd expect and they sexualize the workplace (call it what it is) and favor certain groups while stomping on others. My building was wrapped in a giant rainbow, every window and door had a rainbow decal placed on it, and a work floor loaded with TVs promoted very "colorful" events - it was a VERY celebrated office space. Christian, Conservative, etc... beware of your values being stomped on like mine were. This place also

Pros

I liked the people I worked with.

Cons

Management at AEC inspire us really bad. They don’t take ownership of their own decisions when things don’t work out. They blame and finger point. I even complained to the HR for some of the behavior but they went all ballistic on me. I ended up quitting.
