Pros

Lot of smart people, delivered great work in the past, cool projects to review and wonderful engineers.

Cons

Management is only out for themselves. Watched them fire 1/3 of the team, some of them industry leaders and experts, almost all delivering results, and kept themselves on board. A continual chest-beating-contest between the different leaders. 5 Name changes in 18 months, no new logos, and absolute chaos on organization and strategic alignment. Lack of identity, lack of direction, and leaders that are so behind the times

Pros

The team members who are in the weeds

Cons

* Low pay and lack of career progression. Last year I had my first raise in years but it was a VERY small increase that hasn't improved my quality of life unfortunately. This year they pushed the merit increase by half a year. There isn't a doubt among all of colleagues that this is an intentional move to get more folks to quit / save money. * High employee turnover. * Multiple waves of layoffs and departures since 2024. Lack of communication and planning around layoffs leads to us having to figure out solutions on the fly and it honestly does not seem like that leadership cares about how these layoffs are affecting the CURRENT business. * Rotating door of Execs who have no idea what's going on in the ground. We're just treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.
