Good mission, very bad leadership

Software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice co-workers, and awesome projects.

Cons

The management overall is really bad especially in engineering. You will hear and notice lots of discrimination and bad management practices. This place fires people more than they hired during my time. I would not join this place at least now. Maybe the new eng executive will fix those issues but I doubt it. I strongly don’t recommend if you are looking for a stable and secure job. You will fear being fired since your day one.

Good enough

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Competitive pay, PTO, work-life balance. - Positive culture. - Decent opportunity/freedom. - Lots of different tech to cut-teeth on (also a con). - Haven't ran into any jerks so far. - Company has good intermediate level customer-support that works closely with customers and protects engineers from too much noise.

Cons

- Some of the worst code I've ever seen. (This is not my first rodeo). - Lack of investment in stability. They call "Opts" team "SRE". - ADHD of software ecosystems (use a motley of supporting products with poor integration, instead of committing to a few ecosystems with good integrations). - Mixed signals of trying to be frugal versus spending money.
