Pros

Nice office space Decent salaries (at least some) A chance to work with some nice technologies Seriously good technology, promising market and perspective company

Cons

Bad upper management: - no vision, not setting realistic goals - just throwing wishes around, bad prioritization, starting a bunch of projects and then forgetting about them - extreme micromanagement - bad communicators - a lot of generalizations and little substance - favors "yes-men", you shouldn't point problems or disagree on something or you are going to be removed from the flow Bad practices: - cargo cult agile/scrum - lot of endless meetings - little decisions - bad Human resources dept. - 100 person company functions as 1500 person company - lot of formalisms, indecisions.... Collegues: - there is a clan formed that keeps together, cover each other up, scorn and imputes others, team leads giving superb reviews to friends with little merit etc... - "We are so smart and we know everything and you have to listen to us" attitude from 26-32 year old guys on their's first job

Pros

ReversingLabs has a great culture and AMAZING people. Legacy product line is a market leader. New product line has huge potential. HR and Finance have done a great job to make sure headcount growth has been steady, consistent and sustainable.

Cons

No 401k match. Other than that, I genuinely didn’t experience any other cons.

Pros

Colleagues are nice to work with.

Cons

Management is a complete mess. Changes every 6 months with no clear direction. No structure and missing targets quarter after quarter for the past two years. The company is sinking and quickly. Less than 10% of reps hit quota (Or even came close). Not great product market fit. Lack of engineering support and no forward vision has cost this company several deals. The new leadership implemented the past few months have caused even less hope. Would very much avoid unless you have no other option.
