Pros

The remote work is nice, assuming you are in one of the major time zones. PacketFabric operates on Pacific time, so make sure you can cover a majority of pacific hours in you are in the US or Canada. Most team members are friendly, though stressed. We could all use a real vacation.

Cons

There is no direction. The company says they value transparency, and the CEO shares his thoughts. A week later those thoughts are completely different and everything that was said the previous week to drum up excitement is no longer the direction. We go week to week looking for the CEOs next big win and watch it come crashing down later. The most recent version of this was the purchase of a failing company. This has caused a ton of people to leave in the last six months and led to bankrupting the European entity. When you start, get the highest salary you can. The company has promised raises in the past that don't materialize. They are currently promising raises again.

Pros

Remote work with flexibility, some good people

Cons

- The company has made two mysterious acquisitions that appeared poorly planned and executed, both resulting in significant financial losses that caused massive layoffs. Repeating the exactly same mistakes raised questions about the actual intent of these acquisitions. - Over the past 2.5 years, the company has gone through nearly 10 rounds of layoffs, reducing headcount by approximately 70–80%. Two of them were mass layoffs each eliminated 50% of employees. These layoffs often followed after hearing how well the company's financial situation is. - Despite significant workforce reductions, the company continued to expand its C-level and executive team - Employees are pressured to like and repost LinkedIn marketing posts on a daily basis. On at least one occasion, a C-level executive stated that engagement was being tracked and monitored
