Career Suicide.

Pros

Steady paycheck and benefits. That's about it.

Cons

Zero career growth. Why hand out promotions on the Titanic? The company is shrinking, everybody is leaving and they're not being replaced. The company seems to have a lot of money to burn on pointless initiatives that do nothing for the business. Management seems clueless about tech and business in general. No communication, no direction. Feels very contractor-y, literally just need bodies to smile, nod and do the work. No team atmosphere, wins or career development. Managers are mostly focused on themselves. Ambivalent about meeting any measurable objectives. If you don't mind being jerked around left and right by managers, this is the place for you.

Pros

Unlimited Vacation Decent Pay Decent Benefits Easy work

Cons

Management doesn't have a clue what they are doing. They promote based on politics, not on skills. Just went through a massive layoff. No career development

Lousy company in free fall

Pros

- Benefits package was generous - They pay plenty of unqualified people fairly well - Parking garage if you need it

Cons

- Terrible office culture all around - Weak programmers and a bottom-feeder platform - Not a single person in a leadership role who inspires confidence ANYWHERE in the company. And all the "worker bees" see this and resent it - It's a second-rate talent tech company that is mediocre all-across - Stock price has decrease about 75% since I have been there, and continues to plummet as CarGurus goes up. - Awful HR, I never had a development program or honest review, but they hire lots of unqualified managers in both product and business lines who mostly drink at local bars and make awful business decisions while we are still working in the office
