      Pros

      - Great culture at the team level - Talented & generous coworkers - Great managers - Impressive product

      Cons

      Upper Leadership driving the company into the ground with mismanagement. Talented and very tenured employees are jumping ship. Leadership focused on internal politics and optics. Pushing out leaders who stick their neck out trying to course correct. Reward blind followers. Failing at sales strategy. Micromanaging Product & Engineering causing disfunction to avoid solving the strategy problem.

      Pros

      I loved my co-workers. Everyone was super helpful and a lot of people were friendly. I enjoyed hanging out with them during lunch hour. People thought very highly of the management. I had a boss that really cared about me personally and was fair but kind. The company also valued personal development and gave time to learn new skills and build side projects for the company.

      Cons

      I did not find it meaningful to work on software that was helping big corporations.
