Pros

Variety in tech stack, not much else

Cons

- Low low pay, they research market rates and purposely undercut. - From the above, they tend to hire fresh college graduates who do not know better. - Newly hired college graduates were making as much as our best senior engineers (in a bad way.) - management does not care about work/life balance. They will seriously work you to the bone. - they almost made the Texas employees use vacation time during the 2021 snow storm that knocked out the power in Texas. And almost made them work the weekend to make up for lost time! - most of the code is garbage and it's hard to get any meaningful work done because of legacy code written years ago. Make one change here, break 5 things somewhere else. - don't expect any meaningful raises (which only come once a year, promotions twice a year. Do not believe them if they tell you otherwise, many coworkers were lied to when first hired.) - performance is based on number of commits. They only look at metrics using some software that keeps track of commits, time between commits, size if commits, etc. You are seriously reduced down to how many and how big your yellow dots are on their graphs. - Attrition is a big problem

Pros

Good Work Life mix Competitive Compensation Fun coworkers Great place to begin your career and have a strong foundation! Management seems to care about your growth and development,

Cons

Not a lot of negative thoughts but know you own your own growth, management cares but you have to put the work in yourself. Be ready to put your best foot forward!

Pros

- Cvent hires some really fantastic people, who make the work bearable - They're in a space where they are the big fish, which gives them all kinds of market advantages - Company does a lot of promoting from within - If you can handle the culture, you can have a lot of job stability

Cons

- Culture is pretty micro-managing and diminishing - Salaries aren't competitive, and are getting less so - Company is not at all transparent - Remote offices are treated poorly compared to HQ - Work/life balance is a joke
