Vantaggi

The people are amazing and the work is rewarding. Can't ask for more!

Svantaggi

The company is going through some growth so there are parts of the business that are still catching up. But people are invested in doing it right, so it is always improving.

Thanks and I totally agree -- the people are amazing! We're definitely growing fast moving quickly, and that has two sides. On the positive side we offer really interesting, challenging work because of all the opportunity ahead of us. As you pointed out, that's rewarding because it creates ability to have impact at scale, and help our employees stretch themselves as they develop. Which is awesome! And the flip side, as you've also pointed is that we definitely need to be mindful of making sure all aspects of the business are moving as fast as we need to support our growth. That can be challenging at times but doing it right is always top of mind for us. Thanks for reminding of that and sharing the feedback. We are absolutely and intentionally committed to growing in a healthy fashion - please help us make sure we are executing on that promise!

Vantaggi

- lots of ownership - decent middle management - great teammates - learning a lot - older employees do tend to have competitive RSU grants and salaries

Svantaggi

- tons of legacy systems (10+ years version of Ruby on Rails... 10+ years since some products or services were updated, 0 associated automation to help) - last 2y of leadership has brought on tons of reorgs & changes. Example - recommended PTO days quietly went down, got rid of lots of free snacks, anniversary gifts went down $100s of dollars, plenty of silent layoffs - Senior leadership is focused on 1 thing - getting the stock price up. Has no interest in supporting some of our legacy systems that can prop up new products. - new hires are not fitting into our culture. Inflated titles. Empire building. Awarded for submitting buggy AI Slop code. Encourage working on the weekends. Starting to get toxic.
