Pros

A few years ago it was one of the best places to work.

Cons

The management and private equity ownership have run this to the ground. Anyone challenging way of things are shown the door. Senior mgmt spend more time with HR to devise ways rid of people who have made the company what it is now. Very few new grads even look at this company. It has become a second or third tier company. The HR who let go people in engineering was himself let go.

Short-term focus on tactics -- without rewards

Pros

- On plan to IPO in coming year or so. It's always nice to be experience that. - Long-term employees (over 3 years) so genuine and friendly, its a bit surprising in Tech. Best part of working there was the chance to meet and work with them. - A great starter-company for engineers right out of college.

Cons

- Newer-term employees and leaders are not so genuine. Lots of political BS in the middle-management and senior leader level. This perpetuates "us vs them" behaviors and silos. - Everything is focused on the IPO, which will financially benefit owners and VPs -- rest of employees are not guaranteed a reward for the massive hard work being asked of them to transform products, go-to-market, and back office processes and systems.
