      Good product with poor management

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      9/80 work schedule (when not forced into mandatory off Friday meetings)

      Cons

      Constant expectation to be available after hours or on off days. If you make plans on your off Friday, there is an expectation from senior leadership that you will attend calls while driving, etc. New CEO held an all hands telling employees that there will not be layoffs. The next thing that happened was layoffs. I learned that 3-4x per year we should expect a round of RIF’s. Leadership team has favorites. If you are in, great, if not, keep your resume updated.

      Smart people, terrible C level management

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great team members and smart engineers. Not terrible benefits

      Cons

      If you want to be worked to the bone, this is the place for you. Constant change in management structure and priorities makes this place a mess.
