Pros

Remote work and a paycheck

Cons

The company has no interest in employee well-being or satisfaction, they're just hoping to stick around long enough to get bought (which would be a miracle). The expectation is that you will work above and beyond the scope of your role without additional compensation or benefits, and often you will be set up to fail in these situations. The company itself isn't even sure of who they are or what they're selling and has gone through several recent rebrands in an attempt to further define this but it's only gotten more vague over time.

Just a bad company

Pros

They had some great, well-known clients. Some of the workers are such amazing people. Work from home can be a plus for some.

Cons

Where to start.. I have a lot of thoughts, but others’ reviews have disappeared, so I’ll just say there is something really wrong here. So many talented people have left, and while some amazing people remain, there is a rottenness here that I’m not sure can be resolved. I’m being too nice. It’s bad.

Pros

The people were sometimes decent, work-life balance was good

Cons

Management doesn't care about anyone's opinion other than their own. Multiple layoffs and insincere communication about layoffs
