      Still a great company, despite growing pains

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - good engineering challenges, decent impact opportunities - good managers - good mission - lots of room to grow and move - quality, friendly people - good comp - great offices, support, and environment

      Cons

      - ever increasing bureaucracy, process, and other tedious stuff. probably par for the course with any bigorg - diluted focus and vision in some engineering areas. can be frustrating finding and doing impactful work. - strong drive "forward" means some legacy headaches are tolerated for too long - unrefined inter-department processes can cause headaches with security, infra, devenv situations

      A changing culture

      Technical solutions engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you are a budding software engineer with minimal experience in this space, you will be exposed to a lot of technologies that will help you grow and build confidence in your technical skills. If you need a push out of your comfort zone..this is a good experience. Great team mates.

      Cons

      As the company has grown, the culture in Technical Solutions has pivoted from quality to quantity. With increased pressure to hop on calls with customers and resolve issues quickly. Training on the product is short lived and not really monitored. Your development is dependent on your own willingness to learn the product and the many technologies it integrates with. Management is much to be desired and disorganized. The Pay is low.
