Don't work here if you value career progression or want your input to be valued

Pros

I was paid a living wage

Cons

Anyone who isn't an individual contributor - managers/team leads/ directors or any other made up title that doesn't do actual work. They are the WORST in the industry. They will constantly gas light you, lie to you, and stagnate your career. They only care about propping up their buddies with no concept of meritocracy. Leaving this company has added so much perspective to my life. Nobody deserves to put up with this.

Great teams, not-so-great leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

Everyone I've directly worked with is great, and the work itself is fun and rewarding. Plus, they do a good job at recognizing hard work.

Cons

Management is completely out of touch with the company. Crazy cost-cutting such as removing trash cans from offices so that they can save on janitorial services, removing free lunch and coffee, forcing us to migrate from hard-token 2FA to smartphone-application based 2FA, cutting the bonuses budget so less people can get rewarded for hard work, etc. All this while laying large groups of people off, hiring a ridiculous amount of VP-level personnel with salaries I don't even want to guess at, and telling us that there are no money problems.
