Pros

Free lunch and Winter break.

Cons

This is a 'Lala' company where the CEO treats his employees as servants. They have to either fall in line or move out. He is not open to ideas. It is his way or the highway. His 2 kids are in executive roles and do NOT add any value. This is dying company with absolutely no future,

Pros

Great pay and benefits Coworkers are hardworking, smart, and driven Some of the products are incredible and the vision is solid

Cons

Bad CEO/Founder management Struggling to transition to a SaaS company - it seems like whatever the latest sales prospect is asking for, the CEO will say yes and try to build it. This derails what the team is actively working on and makes the future uncertain. Revolving door of talent - There never feels like there is job security. I was told every 6 months that we might be out of work soon due to slow movement on the product side. Lack of structure on the truckload side - All of the folks working on this side of the house are playing catchup with bugs and it feels like everyone is just working as a support team. There is no sales team to help push the product forward and it felt like bailing water from a sinking ship. Long unpredictable hours - 50 hour weeks are the norm but very frequently you will hear of people working 60+ hour weeks. Especially on the dev teams paired with unrealistically high work loads.
