Pros

An incredible company with outstanding people and exceptional managers. My time here was truly a period of growth and development.

Cons

The sales team has too much control, and the technical team feels more like a presentation tool than a real part of the sales process. The technology is outdated, and the company seems unstable, especially with talks of it being sold. Job security is low, and redundancies are a real risk.

Pros

We can essentially use AI without any limit right now. The pay and compensation is industry leading but that's how they get you to stay.

Cons

The engineering organization is technologically stagnant — from CI pipelines, to sec/ops practices and overall architecture, everything is locked into legacy practices with little room for outside perspectives. Attempts to introduce modern tools or new ideas are consistently met with resistance rather than curiosity. There's also a stark tenure gap. Most engineers leave within a year or two once they recognize the limited ability to drive change, while those who stay long-term — often 8+ years — have rarely worked outside this environment and lack exposure to broader industry practices.
