Vantaggi

Good code structure, mono repo using golang and grpc made every day at work a pleasure. Control from the front end all the way to the backend which is awesome. Very nice people and remote work. Very inclusive.

Svantaggi

Company seemed to talk about how good/open they were but often failed to deliver. Gave a big speech about not laying people off in the tech down turn only to fire ~20% of staff like 2 months later. Same problems with affecting any non technical change in the company. Any updates to central pieces of code impact all teams as there is was no versioning, so you have to make it work for the whole company which is a hassle, but not as hard as it sounds. I wouldn't trust any promises around career advancement if its not written down, they have some very detailed guidelines which they definitely do not follow.

Vantaggi

The product is fundamentally good. The cause is fundamentally good. The people you work with directly are great. Because the consumers are primarily government entities it is a very stable business model.

Svantaggi

Management has no respect or concern for people who work here. Employees are disposable and there has been at least one layoff each year for the past three years. This usually is presented as “we didn’t have the right team” or “plans didn’t work out” and the usual cut and paste explanations. In spite of being told the company is very profitable, raises did not happen for a while and the most recent one is barely a cost of living adjustment. Promotions have also not happened and many people are doing a different more senior role with the title they started with during the pandemic era hiring boom. Senior leadership is detached, unaware of projects in flight, and unfamiliar with the products to the point they will suggest new initiatives that are for things we already have. Most of them come from very large companies and try to act as if we have the same headcount, resources, and consumer base as a multinational B2C and are seemingly confused and unhappy when things don’t work out the way they expected.
