Pros
- Decent pay and benefits (for Boise market) - Flexible WFH - Pretty good work/life balance
Cons
Truly terrible upper management was allowed to stay in place for over a year, despite constant reports to HR of sexism, disrespect, and incompetence. In the last year, I've seen two acquisitions, two layoff waves (of ~40 and ~75 people), and literal dozens of voluntary departures. New middle/upper management is hired every couple months, upon which we scrap the cumulative "vision" of the last collection of managers and start working on a new "vision." Meanwhile, longstanding systemic problems continue to compound, with fewer and fewer resources left to fix them. Long story short, this company has no future. Look elsewhere.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
The benefits at the time were pretty great with 401k matching, good medical, dental, and vision options. The benefits extended to the onsite gym, unlimited flex time off, great work life balance and flexibility and a very high trust environment. They have some very talented people that do a great job of leading their teams to success and quality software in innovative and exciting ways.
Cons
If you don't fit the culture or if you get one of the few bad managers the amazing culture can quickly turn a bit hostile and bit you. At least one of their engineering managers is still struggling to lead well and has ruined the culture for many on his teams.

Pros
The company is very employee friendly, very good work life balance. No ones works too hard. Pay is decent for the area. Good stepping stone company to build your resume.
Cons
It is a bro club; very unprofessional. If you don't fit the culture you will not move up. Company changes and improvements move incredibly slow. Systems built in house severely limit company potential. Management focus seems to always be on the "shiny objects" not on actual business improvements. Career ceiling is low.

Pros
Awesome culture. Trusting environment until you show you can't be trusted. Super smart and highly skilled coworkers. Great work life balance as no more regularly working 50+ hour weeks. Top of the line in-house gym.
Cons
Flat hierarchy with limited room for advancement. Quick to fire or lay people off, have seen more people fired than everywhere else I have worked combined.
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Good work/life balance. Free gym membership (plus they have an AWESOME gym at corporate headquarters), lots of free supplements plus great discount if you order from the store. Great benefits, and I loved my boss (CMO). I heard new management is taking over, and to me, that's a good thing! They are located in Boise, which is an area that has a very low cost of living. So even though you may get paid less, you still have a lot of discretionary income at the end of the day.
Cons
The pay is way below market standards - at least for my position. They work very, very slowly. I've never seen such a large development team get so little done. There were also a lot of slackers at this company who took 2 hour lunches, or worked out in the middle of the day for over an hour, or left early when there's work to be done. It was easy to hide your laziness in this company. On the flip side, I was ready and willing to work and contribute and got put off, with nothing to do. I had to find work to do and offered my services to numerous departments. There are some people who would be okay with too little to do but I was extremely unhappy about this! For one, I couldn't show them how talented I am. For another, a person needs to make a meaningful contribution to their company for job satisfaction, so I was not happy for most of my time there. I was, as several coworkers often said "a serious waste of talent." I couldn't agree more! They could have gotten SO much out of me, but never took advantage of it. Another thing I didn't like was the bro culture there. If you were in with the hardcore exercise crowd, you were taken seriously and more likely to get promoted (especially muscular women). If you weren't, forget about being heard. I don't even think this was consciously done. But management has a responsibility to be more aware of this type of culture.

Pros
Great benefits. The work-life balance is utterly amazing, along with the company supporting fitness and health.
Cons
Lack of career development. This is a great starting point to leap off to a different company down the road.
