Pros

- Great people to work with - Fully remote - Pay is competetive

Cons

The new C-level only care about make financial spreadsheet look good so the company can be sold at the cost of chaos management, no strategic decision making, endless acquisition and change of high level leadership. Only hiring in Europe and force engineers in US to leave. It is now a toxic place for engineers to work and learn which is pretty sad to see especially compared to it used to be before the Ciox merge.

Pros

Dedicated group of employees with plenty of opportunities for career development. Good work/life balance even with busy schedules. Execs keep employees updated on goals and emphasize recognition for hard work.

Cons

Change is a constant as the business iterates to adopt new technology and adapt to changing customer demands.

Pros

Great team members and supportive, responsive, genuine team leads.

Cons

Low pay, especially considering stress and workload. No raises in 4 years. Constant write-ups for missing unattainable goals. Changed teams and managers involuntarily about 4 times during my career. Was hired as a lead, but they "reorganized" within a month, and I lost my title and privileges. As soon as I was getting the hang of the work, boom, they switch me to a new team with different work forcing me to relearn, and they wonder why I couldn't meet the goal. Terrible micromanagement, as in "what did you work on", "what are you doing" "why are you doing that" every single day. Only way to meet the goal number is to work 1-2 hours over your shift time off the clock. Health insurance is expensive and doesn't cover anything. Dental insurance won't even fully cover 2 cleanings in a year. Ever seen the show Severance? My girlfriend and I actually talked about how eerily similar the work experience is for this company.
