Pros

The company has a strong executive leadership team with open communication from the top down which is reflected throughout the company. They have all hands every other week where you get to ask the heads of different departments questions, so you get a sense of who they are. I've found that the engineers here are willing to help each other out and there's no ego at play. Everyone realizes that it's about teamwork and works hard to help to achieve the company's overall goals. What I really like about working her is that people not only work hard, but they also know how to have fun too, for example there are various social groups throughout the company that chats about Games of Thrones, Instant Pot, Home and Garden, and Rock Climbing to just name a few.

Cons

No matching 401k. No floating holidays. PTO is capped at 4 weeks / year, with no increase with seniority.

Thanks for the review. Am glad to hear that you find the bi-weekly all hands meeting to be valuable. (And yes.... the Game of Thrones slack channel is super fun, especially with all the memes generated from last Sunday's episode, right?!) Considering your 20+ year career perspective, we certainly thank you for the endorsement on our company and culture.

Pros

Unfortunately, not many since the company has shifted priorities, post layoffs. Good work/life balance but depends on your role

Cons

Lack of employee development due to lack of bandwidth for leaders, new shift in performance management allows leaders to let employees go without development paths, there's a push to work harder and move faster creating a toxic work environment.
