Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

- stuck in the dark ages work/life balance wise - thinks they’re a startup, planning to 5x their company but they refuse to invest in paying well or hiring enough people - expects startup work hours (50-60 hours a week, people regularly work weekends) but won’t pay beyond a mediocre salary (10 year engineer has to fight for $135k, no equity or bonus) - will lie to you in the interview process about the company and projects being stable - remote but will give you zero life flexibility, expect to be chained to your desk for 9 hours a day (yes you are expected to be available for 9 hours a day but if you’re away from your desk for more than a half hour you will be yelled at) - you will be given a desktop, no laptop, and your manager will complain if you try to take a meeting from anywhere other than your home office - they will give you a desktop and peripherals from 2015 despite being a hardware management company. My webcam was literally an Amazon Chinese camera with no brand on it - absolutely inept tech leadership - terrible quality codebases - you will be working on amateur products built by people with no real professional coding experience - your boss will challenge every estimate you give on work and then fire you if you complain too much - you will be expected to work stories that have no refinement with tons of ambiguity, if you miss deadlines it will be your fault despite them refusing to hire a product owner - business is built on legacy early 2000s Oracle products that are very hard to work with and understand - management wants to introduce yet another unstable ERP to the business lifecycle - you will be expected to get up to speed on this system in less than a month with zero documentation and no solid resources

Pros

Office is nice, sometimes they cater.

Cons

Run, far and fast. No transparency from leadership and shady practices with their ITAD program. Refuse to invest in a real CRM. Constantly raising and setting unrealistic goals. No sales support besides the guys in the warehouse testing and packing things. Culture fits all the stereotypes you hear about sales people. C level is completely out of touch. Management starts sweating at the word union and sues their former employees for leaving. Comp plan reworked every year to be worse than the last. Used to be an amazing spot to work but PE ruined this place.
