Pros

Benefits, work/life balance, pay structure, retention bonuses. Very touchy feely company, they very much care about employee satisfaction which is great, but can inhibit them at certain moments as well.

Cons

Leadership, lay offs, financial losses, bandaid fixes, etc. The company has missed quota for 6 quarters in a row. There’s no real direction here, what they do changes every week which is understandable because they’re trying to keep the boat but sinking, but at the same time it takes time for change to be seen. It’s a data science company that doesn’t allow for real data to compile and influence decisions.

Pros

The company treats everyone with respect, and loves hearing new ideas. Not really a con, but they do a good job picking candidates that are qualified for their job so the company can be very asynchronous. Just make sure you're a self starter and helping with the mission because Posit is a great company!

Cons

Not a real con but not a fan of the reimbursement process for travel. There's platforms like Navan that exist so employees don't have to use their own money but that's the only thing I can think of.

Pros

-unlimited PTO -really smart people across the company -the open source community loves RStudio and you feel like you’re making an impact -Slack/Google company

Cons

This company has declined sharply over the last two years and it's painful to watch. Leadership has churned across multiple departments, and the new leaders do not have a clear strategy for how to save the sinking ship. Direction shifts every quarter with no time to learn whether anything is working. The flat, approachable and “non-org chart” culture that defined this place is gone. New execs and VPs are unreachable, make decisions without collaboration, fail to protect their teams' time, and sit too far from the actual work to notice that things keep getting added to people's plates while nothing comes off. Sales has missed quarterly targets for nearly two years. Finances are tight. Roles disappear without explanation. Money still gets spent on expensive tools that were never vetted with the people expected to use them. Plus, theres the AI pressure that a lot of other tech companies are dealing with, which now has created a workforce that lives in constant fear that they're next to be let go. It is genuinely sad to see a once inspiring company become this colorless, frantic, disorganized version of itself.
