Pros

Once upon a time you could say you worked with some interesting tech. But it’s hopelessly obsolete now. It’s like saying in 2026 that you are working with MS-DOS.

Cons

This is clearly the last stage of the years of turbulence. - The CRO quit (the latest in a long series of failed ones). - The CFO also said bye bye. - There have been a slew of other high profile departures, especially in customer facing roles. All of this exodus in a very short amount of time. Whatever little hope we had of hanging on to the remaining customers, are pretty much gone now. But the CEO and his pals are all still firmly in place. In fact one of them was recently officially promoted to CPO. Gotta have that title to help get the next job when Contrast fails. Of course the extra $$$ doesn't hurt. The CEO announced this internally and externally, without the slightest hint of shame. All the while people who have spent years building up and sustaining this company through sheer talent and dedication are being regularly given the pink slip. Just when you thought this company couldn't stoop any lower, you are proved wrong, again and again. Because one thing never changes here: sociopathy.

Pros

The only positive I can say about my time at Contrast is that it’s over. I’m very grateful for that.

Cons

In my 17 year career I can honestly say that I’ve never worked at a company as bad as this. And it’s not even close. Grossly incompetent management. Most of them were mainly concerned with looking good to the “important” people. Whose own interest was to just keep themselves in their positions. Those who didn’t fall in line with this whole scheme were outright abused and eventually laid off. The company has had no strategy, no vision. No answer to the ever shrinking customer base and lack of new sales. Except a lot of corporate jargon and power point slides. And of course layoffs, lots of them. I never felt so invisible, so unappreciated, so frustrated, so demoralized as I did at this company.

Pros

No pros in the present and whatever future is left, if any.

Cons

This was never a fulfilling job to begin with, but the company has gotten progressively worse in all aspects. We have gone from being unhappy to absolutely miserable. Day in day out relentless pressure is put on you to deliver whatever someone up high wants. Some half baked idea, which you need to implement in a completely unrealistic amount of time. Forget any semblance of work life balance. They extract more and more juice out of you, without anything in return from them. Micromanagement of the kind you wouldn't believe. So what did you do in that two hour window on Tuesday? Interference in every little thing, by people who have no clue in the first place. All of this and MUCH more along with the icing on the top - the sword of layoff always hanging over you. We have lost count of the number of layoffs this place has had. And more and more gets piled on you with an ever shrinking workforce. You eventually become numb. No longer care whether the axe falls on you as well. At least it would be over then. You'd no longer be under this toxic tyranny.
