Wonder why there are so many openings - because product team is imploding

Pros

-Services team doing very well -Some very talented people in company -People like Scott Kenyon who really care about people and know how to be an effective and respected member of the executive team.

Cons

-Entire product management team is going or gone -Half of product engineering team is gone -Bad work/life balance -Until very recently, haven't ever seen a raise over several years -Very interrupt driven planning/work -Consistent lack of investment in quality -Does not pay market rates for salary/bonus Also it is highly suspicious that when there are a few negative reviews that within a couple of weeks there are some positive reviews to try to balance it.

All of the talent is leaving!

Pros

I can't think of any.

Cons

Worked to death. Long hours with no reward, open vacation policy but you can't really take a vacation. No bonus, comp raises or matching 401k. Lack of product focus means supporting 1000s of gimmicky apps that don't really work in hopes of selling the next 'big' thing. The focus is on quantity with customer driven dates, not quality. Entire teams of developers/ux have been leaving after management morphed into a top down dictatorship. Won't pay market rates so only GC candidates are willing to apply and take the lower pay.

Pros

Free food on Fridays and free snacks

Cons

This company is a disaster. I've never been more upsold in an interview. It was a complete lie. They are always changing the company's value proposition and people are always frustrated about upper management decisions. Super negative environment, people step on each other's toes, and are hostile at times.
