Pros

People here are really smart and kind; no egos in the room. Product is powerful, but the design is quite dated. Very comfortable work life balance. Hardly feels like work at all once you find your people and get a rhythm going.

Cons

Design is pretty dated, so not the most visually stunning or impressive product to be working on for designers who skew more visual. There doesn't seem to be an tastemaker at the top gunning for any sort of redesign or visual haul. It feels like the products will be frankenstein'd in perpetuity

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.

Pros

Pay well, solid career path assuming you're promoted, + good product to sell

Cons

Churn + Burn type of environment with little to no formal career development. This is a great spot if you want to add an additional year of college antics but don't want to go back to school
