Pros

-Unlimited PTO -401k Matching -Health insurance, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents -Phone & Internet Reimbursement -Remote options -Basic product (it's literally just a basic HTML website)

Cons

-Very low Pay, no stock options -Not a tech company in any capacity (nothing is automated - all manual processes) -Dev team is 95% contractors overseas who don't care about the architectural design and implement subpar code, which leads to major performance issues -There's 5 staging environments, half of which are broken & are constantly overwriting each other -Lack of trust in their FTE base (everything is gated - tech team doesn't have access to tools to do their basic job) -Zero organization (teams do not communicate with each other/decisions do not consider the downstream impact) -Very meeting heavy & rely too heavily on Slack -Not a mission driven company/not customer focused -Terrible leadership -Promotions are more of a popularity contest, not performance based -Non-collaborative work environment, innovative ideas are not encouraged, leadership is stuck in their ways -Weak strategy and product positioning that changes year to year -The company is not profitable (not signing deals, cutting millions in budget)
