Pros
- solid mission-driven product - highly qualified and professional coworkers - generous benefits, including fully remote work - passionate and supportive users - friendly and supportive culture
Cons
pre-acquisition: - unpredictable management driven by strong personalities, not by data - unequal pay, including some salaries less than their "official" income bands - very limited growth opportunities within the company - interdepartmental politics post-acquisition: as above, plus: - many, many people and roles replaced or eliminated outright - management demanding dramatic results in an unrealistic amount of time - company focus shifting towards profit at all costs, which means sacrificing quality of work in favor of faster production - huge amount of resources put into unpopular and ill-advised projects
