Terribly Mismanaged Company

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Great parental benefits. You get parental leave as well as benefits for reproductive services. Work from home, remote capacity

Cons

Horribly low salaries, won’t even meet average market value, no promise of raises or salaries on a year to year basis. Company does not set you up for success, and will never give you the tools to be setup for success so they can justify giving you “meets expectations” on your annual review. No transparency from upper management and will never hesitate to lay people off to better the bottom dollar. As long as they continue to make a profit, and the higher ups satisfy their stakeholders, they will never worry about the impact their decisions make on their employees. You will always be a number and never treated like a person. I would consider any opportunity for employment with caution as there a significant more cons then pros.

Went quickly downhill

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive salary and benefits, terrific work/life balance

Cons

Management heavy, there aren't enough 'doers.' The management overall are unsupportive and focus only on their goals to upper management. Zero training and alot of gatekeeping information in order for coworkers to stay competitive in a layoff happy company. No discussion of career growth or process improvements. Increasingly bulky and cumbersome requirements for developers without purpose or effect Generally negative culture, lack of agency or appreciation, annual restructuring, setup for failure in many cases even sabotage of work to avoid the yearly layoffs Dev process is bureaucratic and archaic, my team used waterfall but didn't create clear or predefined requirements since that "isn't agile." This of course lead to repeated release issues, and finger pointing. The vibe is overall conservative, which is fine until it becomes intentionally isolating. They definitely prefer people 'like' themselves. Good luck if you are not culturally consistent with the rest of team.
