Pros

Work on challenging problems. Engineering counterpart are great and very smart to work with. Free lunch and remote work available

Cons

Markets itself as a tech company but everything internally is done manually. Leadership is bad and they are rude sometimes. No one knows what is going on and blame each other. Very low pay compared to the market. Will be down-leveled in interviews. Sincere advice is if you are an engineer go to a company that makes software rather than coming here where you will be doing IT work all day.

Pros

The compensation was strong and competitive, and it was consistently the best part of the job. If your priority is pay in the near term, that piece delivered.

Cons

I struggled with the lack of stability. It rarely felt like the ground was solid, and that uncertainty was hard to sit with over time. Return-to-office expectations seemed to change more than once, and I personally didn't find the reasoning behind those shifts clear. It was hard to plan around. I also found the performance review process difficult to trust. In my experience the outcomes didn't always seem to line up with the actual work, which made it hard to feel like I knew where I stood or how to grow. There was A LOT of turnover in leadership during my time there. With direction changing frequently, it often felt like priorities were in flux, which made it next to impossible to stay oriented.
