Pros

If you stand out in the eyes of management, you will get advancement opportunities quickly. The title will help you when you ultimately opt to leave because the salary doesn't match the position.

Cons

A good majority of the positive reviews you see here are sought out by the executives. They determine what employees they know are currently pleased or would be inclined to leave a positive review and then request for them to. Especially when the overall rating starts to dip. The pay is well below market. If they are implementing change, as I see in the COO's comments to reviewers, it will be slow and less than what's needed for an employee. The open PTO is great in concept but you will be overworked to the point it can be difficult to utilize. And buyer beware, they watch the amount you take closely to make sure you're not a "values mismatch" if you take too much.

Thanks for taking time to leave feedback. I have to admit being confused by several things in your profile and feedback. It appears you've been gone a while and you are negative about the company and the CEO, but positive on the outlook? I can't speak to the time of your tenure (I only joined last year), but I can assure you that executives are not seeking out positive reviews. If we were, the results on this site would be quite different :) In fact, other than my responses, we are going out of our way not to influence, encourage or discourage any posting on Glassdoor. If I ever found out that anyone, executive or otherwise, was soliciting reviews on Glassdoor or any other 3rd party site, it would be dealt with immediately. So let me refute the notion that there is any influence regarding positive reviews. Perhaps another explanation is that there are employees who are actually positive on our company? We do wish you the best in your new role. Much is changing and improving, certainly since you left. As always, the feedback office is open and if you would like to find out more, you know where to find me. We are working hard to build an enduringly great company. Best, Wayne Roberts Chief Operating Officer

Pros

Lots of potential across their portfolio. Standard benefits. OK work/life balance (if you're remote). Very interested in creating a culture of improvement - but not necessarily innovation like you'd expect at a software company (See Cons).

Cons

Parent company is way too involved and tries to run this software company like a hardware company (which is most of their portfolio). Aging tech and design of their product portfolio. There was a very toxic political culture when I was there, but that may have changed. Lots of brain drain over the past few years of their most experience leaders and software engineers. No equity (except for some "high potential" hires and some VPs and above... which creates rifts between the haves, the have nots and management - it's common that a high demand new hire gets equity like AI engineers and data scientists, but their manager does not have equity and has to be able to answer questions about their equity as part of their comp.
