Pros

Good Experience working on challenging and interesting projects Some really smart Engineers still work here Some people here want you to grow and help you

Cons

Benefits are terrible compared to other companies I have worked at No incentives to work harder and be rewarded, actually there are no incentives No Bonuses, No ESPP, No Profit Sharing, & doesn't make up for it in salary Health insurance is a high deductible joke, why even have it They think they are a tech company but they run it as a car salesmen promising the world to customers and then letting Dev team figure it all out Marketing and Engineering are as siloed as can possibly be Its a who do you know company, not what you do Start rewarding the good workers and stop letting all the upper management take all the credit and rewards HR should work for employees, seems like sometimes they do the opposite sometimes

Pros

Good pay, unlimited PTO, and the occasional free lunch when leadership is in town. There are also volunteer activities available if you want to get involved.

Cons

Only 12 paid holidays, and Veterans Day and MLK Day aren’t included. Expectations shift constantly, creating rework, wasted effort, and frequent overtime that leads to burnout. The environment is highly political, with a small group gatekeeping information, unclear ownership, and perception often outweighing results. The business is volatile, with heavy, frequent restructures and ongoing headcount cuts. Technology and systems are outdated, processes aren’t documented, and training/onboarding is weak. The culture leans toward a boys’ club, and it’s easy to feel sidelined or disrespected—so you’ll need a thick skin. Decisions are driven by short‑term goals, and the future often feels uncertain.
