Pros

The occasional flexibility to work from home is the only minor positive, but this temporary convenience is completely overshadowed by a deeply flawed culture and massive operational shortcomings.

Cons

Remote Work Bias & Overlooked Contributions: My entire output and contributions were systematically overlooked simply because I worked remotely and did not commute to a physical office. The proximity bias here is severe. Complete Lack of Recognition: Recognition is virtually nonexistent. No matter the high effort, hours invested, or actual project results, appreciation is never given. There is absolutely no respect or acknowledgment for hard work if you aren't visible in the office. Toxic Work-Life Balance & Bad Culture: There is a persistent, unmotivating expectation to work well beyond regular office hours. The leadership team operates with a severe lack of direction; managers have no clear vision, which leads to a highly disorganized and demoralizing engineering environment. Poorly Handled Exit Experience: The lack of professional courtesy carries all the way through to the end. The exit process was handled incredibly poorly, showing zero accountability, coordination, or respect for an outgoing employee’s time and dedication.

Pros

Some people are nice to work with

Cons

Culture of personality, not competency or meritocracy. Prepare for hysteria-inducing layers of upper management inadequacy and to be fired during a personal crisis as a karmic reward for loyalty to their unethical ways of operating - they have a pattern of firing people during health crises, family death, and other traumatic periods of their life to some of their most competent and capable employees. Do yourself a favor and google “Nextiva lawsuits” for just a peek into some of their standard operating procedures - and that’s just a small peek behind the curtain. Working here felt like a stain on my reputation and moral compass. They make asks of their employees that put them in compromising legal situations and management hides behind them when Goldman Sachs looks for fresh blood to let. They have a bleak moral compass and ineptitude in business strategy to boot - wouldn’t recommend joining this “winning” team to anyone unless they’re trying to flame out and waste years of their life trying to operate in a broken machine. Their cycle of hire and fire is embarrassing and shows that upper management is clueless but continues to punish those doing the work while maintaining a superiority complex that they’re not part of the problem. It makes me laugh thinking of their egos and how clueless and laughable they really are. It’s like a couple of kids got lucky building a business and the coat and top hat is falling off revealing 3 little kids stacked on each other’s shoulders while they demand respect without earning it.
