Pros

Good salary and probably some of the best benefit packages in the area.

Cons

- Reliance on proprietary frameworks (used exclusively by this company) with no documentation or support, despite the job description and interviews requiring years of experience with other frameworks - High-pressure, sink-or-swim work culture - Lack of team cohesion, with global teams competing rather than collaborating, even though the company develops its own products - Overcrowded offices with limited space and parking, alongside a mandatory three-day in-office hybrid policy. The company has officially confirmed plans for a full return to office once additional space is acquired - Subpar equipment provided to developers

Pros

Business side is smart and is superb at their product

Cons

The IT organization struggles with structural challenges that impact efficiency. The offshore-heavy model in India means US-based employees regularly work early hours to stay aligned, which is unsustainable long-term. The workforce is heavily weighted toward a high-headcount service model rather than investing in strong engineering talent — you need fewer, better engineers, not more bodies. Central tech functions are attempting to build platforms, but without a clear shared understanding of what a platform actually means, these initiatives remain incomplete. The result is heavy manual workarounds propping up half-finished solutions. Strategic direction shifts frequently, and ongoing layoff announcements make it difficult to plan or build momentum.
