Pros

No micro management. Treats employees with respect and consistently keeps us in 'the know'. One of their motos is #turnonthelights meaning there is complete transparency from Senior Execs, company shifts, etc all the way to the bottom. Open door policy - They seem to value opinions and ideas. In the past I've worked at several companies where 'sharing your opinion was welcome' but in reality would put you on the radar as a troublemaker. GREAT benefits. Strong 401k match. In my opinion, the health plan is among one of the best I've heard of. Maternity/Paternity just increased to 16 weeks. If you produce they will take care of you with pay increase + stock options. Of course, the never ending supply of cafe/coffee and snacks is a nice perk. I could keep going but if you're thinking about applying do yourself a favor and pull the trigger. Spencer and the exec team are talented, strong leaders with a vision. I'll remain at the company for some time because I truly believe it will continue to expand into something even greater than it already is.

Cons

None yet. I've only worked at the company for a little over a year so the corporate drama could inevitably surface but from what I've experienced thus far it's a well oiled machine that values it's employees.

Pros

Generally the people I work with are great. They are supportive, creative, and work well as a team. Work-life balance is good, although some teams have more on-call than others.

Cons

- Senior leadership has determined that inflation need not be a factor when calculating raises. - Also, we're having record profitability! But also money is very tight and we all need to tighten our belts. - Our stock is down 50% this year, but you all need to suck it up, even though stock is a huge part of pay. - We don't care that you are getting a 30% effective pay cut this year. - Performance ratings are calculated on vibes before reviews are actually written. - We've started outsourcing heavily to Mexico and India. - "We need to raise the bar" ("Please work harder for the same pay") - Health benefits have eroded for several years. - Other benefits have never been adjusted for inflation. - AI is becoming like a cult. We've actually been told that the dream is to never open a code editor again, despite the technology not being remotely ready for that (and with no proof that it is less expensive or saves time).
