Vantaggi

- Very cool and innovative tech - Free lunches - Extremely smart and talented coworkers

Svantaggi

- Mass exodus of engineers. This has been caused by a number of issues including low pay, crass C-Suite management, horrible work life balance, and talks about moving people to Boston. The response has been to do mass hiring to backfill the huge exodus, but before I left there was talk of even some new hires leaving as they realized what they walked into. - Horrible work life balance. Seriously, there are some people who work 11 hour days every single day. There is "unlimited PTO" but most people are afraid to use it. You'll get IM's from people past midnight. The entire idea is that this job should be your life. - I'm not even sure if this company has a culture. During my entire tenure here the concept of "values" or anything of the sort has never really been emphasized. Slack is completely dead and no one talks to one another. I know nothing about people I have worked with for years. You get messages from complete strangers who don't even introduce themselves. I have never worked anywhere in my life that was so cold, sterile, and robotic. - Individual contributors don't have a voice in anything. Long term plans for your job are made without your input. Large scale company wide decisions are made in private. It was always amazing to me that the people who make Butterfly run are the last ones who get to determine its direction.

Vantaggi

The people you work with are very nice and knowledgeable.

Svantaggi

- For a company this size things move very slow, often months go by before decisions can be made. - The company has no future with this business model that doesn’t work and guided by a leadership team that don’t know what they are doing. - Not a real tech company or any innovation in here, most of the work is repackaging existing stuff. - The leadership doesn’t listen to its employees or data about their product. - No real direction, the management loves to go after moonshots without any strategy which leads to nothing. A big chunk of projects start and never go anywhere because there is no real strategy or market for the product. - There is no actual recognition of work, the most you can expect are some shoutouts but come performance review time everyone gets a measly 1-3% and usually little to no stock. - Salaries for software engineers are not at all competitive with the market and the benifits keep steadily getting worse year after year. No real incentive to stay long term. - Every 6 months or so the company goes through a series of cost cutting measures/layoffs to save money for executive’s multimillion $ pay packages. The most recent round in July 24 fired over 50-60 of my coworkers to offshore their work and save 20 million $ while the top 4 execs made over that much for their compensation,
