Pros

It used to be a wonderful collaborative environment, with friendly people and open doors to good opportunities. The work life balance can be excellent on some teams.

Cons

The management has decimated the business with redundancies, cutting the HR team down so severely that major personnel issues are occuring. The "bro" culture of promoting bullish and often openly misogynistic men has damaged the core of the business and driven droves of female talent elsewhere. Paths to promotion are very unclear, with all comp increases and promotions being a begging ritual for the majority of earnest and hardworking staff. The gendered pay and promotion disparity is quite shocking. Furthermore, this is not a company to be a good technical lawyer. It is a company for aspiring managers who want to be responsible for a low cost base team in Poland.

Factor is run professionally and treats its contract employees respectfully. They have embraced quality of work and rejected the hyper speed, burnout, boiler room business model utilized by some competitors.

Cons

Most hiring is now in Poland.
