Pros

Their benefits are massive. Competitive pay, fully paid health insurance, unlimited PTO, monthly stipends and more...and the company work culture is amazing!! When they say love is at their core, they truly mean it. The benefit package and encouragement they offer for remote work is one of a kind. There is ZERO micromanagement & hierarchies here. Everyone respects each other and there is plenty diversity. You will only experience genuine kindness and people who show up to do their jobs. I am so happy I found this company and am part of the team.

Cons

I cannot think of any negatives to working here!!

Pros

- lots of ownership - decent middle management - great teammates - learning a lot - older employees do tend to have competitive RSU grants and salaries

Cons

- tons of legacy systems (10+ years version of Ruby on Rails... 10+ years since some products or services were updated, 0 associated automation to help) - last 2y of leadership has brought on tons of reorgs & changes. Example - recommended PTO days quietly went down, got rid of lots of free snacks, anniversary gifts went down $100s of dollars, plenty of silent layoffs - Senior leadership is focused on 1 thing - getting the stock price up. Has no interest in supporting some of our legacy systems that can prop up new products. - new hires are not fitting into our culture. Inflated titles. Empire building. Awarded for submitting buggy AI Slop code. Encourage working on the weekends. Starting to get toxic.
