Pros

Interesting Projects, big clients, remote work.

Cons

People are disposable- surprise layoffs while actively hiring for the same positions for cheaper salary. No consideration of employee's value to the project, experience, and evaluation results while making decisions on workforce reductions.

Code and Theory Response
2y
Thank you for your feedback. We have been going through a lot of change recently with the merging of two companies and doing our best to ensure we have the right people in the right roles. We have been taking each department and having a look at our staff, their skills and what we need to best serve our clients and teams and unfortunately sometimes that means we have to part with our colleagues. It's never easy but sometimes we have to make tough decisions to do the right thing for the health of the company and our clients/projects. We take a lot of time and consideration for every termination we do whether it be for performance or business reasons but we realize on the outside it's very hard to see that sometimes. I see that you still work at Code and Theory so if you ever want to chat more about this, please do reach out and I am happy to help. You can reach me at pamela.delbene@codeandtheory.com or send me slack.

Pros

I had the opportunity to work with amazing individuals and be part of several outstanding teams.

Cons

Recognition can be heavily influenced by recent accomplishments, and long term contributions may not always receive the same level of visibility. Your experience can also vary significantly depending on leadership, as having a strong manager makes a tremendous difference, while ineffective management can make it easier to feel overlooked.
