Pros

Free food. Full work from home

Cons

Unmanageable work load. Workflows are colossally mismanaged. As a result workloads are impractically high. People work 10-12 hr days routinely doing a lot of grunt work, managing increadible badly written automation code. And if something goes wrong, which has a high probability of happening, given the completely mismanaged workflows, blame gets put completely on the individual engineers and there is a ritual of shaming. Add on call rotation on top of this mess. This leads to people being incredibly unhelpful to focus on their deliverables and keep themselves safe. Managers abusing engineers in meetings to establish their authority is a routine occurrence. The worst work culture I've been a part of by a long distance. I can't believe this company has a beer 4.2 star rating on Glassdoor. And hikes are peanuts. There's no real career growth based on what colleagues told me.

Pros

-CEO is extremely forward-thinking, but still seems very genuine and practical. That culture trickles down. -Great customer solutions, so I can compete toe-to-toe and know that it doesn't have to start with pricing concessions, politics and FUD around competition, to obscure product shortcomings. -Benefits are outstanding, IMO. -There seem to be many opportunities to advance, and I have seen a lot of internal promotions in my first 30 days. -Culture is great, and has a strong foundation, but I can already see some polish wearing off at the employee level. You can't put wrong people in place and expect them to pay it forward.

Cons

-I have offered up three referrals and not one has received any follow-up outside of the confirmation email. -No 401K match, but I hear rumors.
