Pros

I love my immediate team.

Cons

Since a recent IPO, the company has been going downhill. The company has been going through multiple rounds of mass layoffs across Operations, Finance, Accounting, IT, and other support groups. Many of my coworkers were laid off for cheaper labor overseas and/or temps/contractors, and they were asked to train their replacements on short notice with little to no oversight. The overseas staff are hard working, but they don't work within our timezone, and there are endless communication challenges. We are also required to come back to the office, or face termination (aka quiet layoffs). One of our core values is integrity, but to layoff many hard working and tenured coworkers for overseas workers while making record profits and going through constant mergers and acquisitions seems dishonest.

The decision to partner externally in order to expand and have a more flexible option with our workforce is never an easy one. We hope to continue doing the right thing when/if this happens, and again appreciate your candor.

Pros

If you are cool with regressing into a zero impact worker it’s a very easy company to coast at and it’s largely incentivized.

Cons

Zero professional dignity. Your stakeholders will be some of the dumbest people you’ve ever met and the company rewards this. Everything gets mangled into some 5 year olds vision and the spend on mediocrity is insane. They hate technology you’ll never get access and all software decisions are made through the lens of how some corpo who doesn’t work would want to use it. Couldn’t stand the people I had to deal with and just all around anti technology anti productivity kind of place, just crazy.
