Pros

Individual contributors and team members really cared about one another-good relationships.

Cons

Poor leaders, unfocused strategy outside of "big goals," the general sense was that individuals and teams could suddenly get RIFF'd without explanation. The worst was the lack of opportunities for advancement - constantly moving goal posts. Over the past 5 years or so, they've been solely focused on growing through M&A and it's left everyone in a constant scramble to look like they're valuable in the eyes of the company. Very little actual communication and accountability though.

Uncertainty Around Full-Time Pipeline Varying Tech Stacks by Team: Because the company encompasses many different product lines and acquired systems, your experience can vary wildly depending on the specific team you land on.
