Pros

Unlimited PTO Cool Projects Resources to help get work done

Cons

The managers are awful. They promote technical employees to management positions and they have no clue what they are doing. Promotions are at the whim of middle management. They don't follow their own guideline for promotions, becomes a subjective game of favorites. It is no Startup anymore. No say on what projects you work on its decided by middle management. Charging for Swag - seriously? No stock options. Engineering needs to learn how to plan and schedule resources for projects. Stop launching late.

Pros

Great teammates, very collaborative. It’s clear everyone here believes in the mission. Competitive salary

Cons

New leadership is rudderless. Flailing and constantly making changes to leaders. No more long term incentive plan for managers and lower. It feels like they’ve been figuring out things as they go since the acquisition by GTCR. Low opportunity for advancement.
