Pros

I originally came here by way of acquisition, and basically kept my role, salary, leadership, etc. from the acquired company. No idea what this would look like for someone hired directly. So the pros (that mostly came with me) were: - good pay - good work-life balance - great team - interesting and challenging work (security)

Cons

This list is mostly comprised of things that _didn't_ cross over from the acquired company: - subpar benefits - no career path - general rigidity and dogmatism, where flexibility / open-mindedness would have been more beneficial to the company. E.g. they not only missed, but actually fought the opportunity to transition to a hybrid workforce model during Covid that many other companies capitalized on

Souless company with poor management

Pros

Facilities are pretty nice. Hybrid work environment. Our team meetings were like group therapy.

Cons

1. The business practices of this company aren't congruent with the message. This company buys others, milks the revenue and cuts employees until the product sucks so bad that customers leave. 2. The executive team is a bunch of yes men that will not question the CEO. 3. The CEO is both CEO and CTO which is laughable as he is at least 15 years behind. 4. They practice stack ranking 5.HR are enforcers of the business. 6. If you are in North America your job will be moved to India. You are constantly at risk. 7. Layoffs every year leaves products minimally supported, so be prepared to be overworked. 8. Any approval to spend money goes to your executive regardless of amount. Slows everything down. 9. Low pay increases, if any. 10 constant turnover of mid level managers makes alignment impossible. 11. The stock price performance makes every equity award worth less than when it was awarded. 12. The CEO strokes his ego with talks with famous people and invites everyone to watch. Should I go on? 11. 7
