Pros
The people at the company are its greatest asset and the reason you want to come to work, more than an above-average salary, unlimited PTO, a great tech stack, or huge opportunities to grow alongside amazing engineers, even though there’s a lot of tech debt.
Cons
Last two years old CEO was dismissed overnight and an all-hands meeting was called just five minutes later to announce it. Engineers who had been with the company for over five years were laid off in the same maner, just five minutes after the layoff announcement on friday! Over the past six months, many senior staff have left, likely anticipating this scenario. The company promotes its “Great Place to Work” certification and core values, yet simultaneously replaced over 100 people with cheaper outsourced teams that didn’t undergo the same rigorous hiring process, even though its greatest asset is its people working here. As engineers, we see a ton of bugs reported daily in our channels. Instead of investing in support and implementation engineers, the new strategy is to hire as many salespeople as possible and lean on low cost outsourcing. I hope this won’t lead to the company’s downfall, most negative Trustpilot reviews cite bugs and poor support, and this problem will only worsen under the current approach.
