Pros

- Competitive pay, PTO, work-life balance. - Positive culture. - Decent opportunity/freedom. - Lots of different tech to cut-teeth on (also a con). - Haven't ran into any jerks so far. - Company has good intermediate level customer-support that works closely with customers and protects engineers from too much noise.

Cons

- Some of the worst code I've ever seen. (This is not my first rodeo). - Lack of investment in stability. They call "Opts" team "SRE". - ADHD of software ecosystems (use a motley of supporting products with poor integration, instead of committing to a few ecosystems with good integrations). - Mixed signals of trying to be frugal versus spending money.

Pros

Good pay and benefits Flexible PTO RSU's

Cons

Company morale is low. The other recent reviews stating this are extremely accurate. Company culture has eroded and the company values don't seem to matter anymore. 'Winning Right' has become lip service. Senior leadership refuses to address the problems many departments are having with headcount and workload. They don't really care about the customer experience. RTO makes no sense when most of your team remains remote in the same role, a role in which you spend much of the time on calls with customers and meeting with other team members virtually. Not enough staff to support the RMS customer base and ticket counts have ballooned.
