Vantaggi

- Plenty of smart talented people - Lots of freedom to do things the way you want

Svantaggi

- Leadership doesn't really seem to have a plan or know what's going on. I was moved across 4 different teams in the 5 months I was there. The projects I was on were basically only managed well when I stepped up to manage them, and often leadership would come in with a new constraint that meant all my previous planning meant nothing - Bizarre forced pushed to make people use AI as much as possible. - They try and talk like work-life balance is important, but implicitly, they really crank up stress around timelines and getting things done quickly to an extent that you don't really feel like you can finish things at a comfortable pace. I frequently felt that I was pushed to get things done quickly, rather than well. - Speaking of, lot of technical debt in the code and in the documentation. - I was laid off after 5 months, despite actively receiving positive feedback the whole 5 months I was there. I was sold in the interview process cause I really do feel like I talked to some great, smart people . In fact, I overlooked the fact that the pay was not as much as I expected because of the impact in the interview process, but once I got in, any semblance of being "well put together" went out the door.

Vantaggi

Good benefits, great pto policy, great rewards system, on paper the company looks great

Svantaggi

-incompetent leadership (not all, but a good portion) -bait and switch style hire process -they don't have solid direction on where they are headed so it's a lot of top-down confusion -leaders have heads in the clouds but don't know how the tactical things happen, so there are two different realities amongst execs and the lower level employees doing the work -pay comparisons are questionable -microaggressions, bullying, and bias run rampant as it's not much diversity -absolutely no one knows who does what, so you will spend hours or days finding the right person just to get a task done OR question answered. Causing unnecessary delays and tension. -Because of the ai first nature, a lot of people are hired that don't have a clue what they are doing tactically. So conversations and next steps are written and fueled by ai. -Everyone talks like walking philosopher degrees with unnecessary filler and jargon to SOUND like they know what they are doing, but not enough tactical skill. Semantics are huge here. Because of this, ALOT of miscommunication and confusion happens. -They don't have the proper organization or management tools, just slack heavy... as you can imagine chaos breeds in this space. Everyone says "Welcome to Fetch" instead of just hiring the right leaders to bring structure asap. -The focus is too much on doing whatever to get the job done and hit revenue goals.
