Pros

- Management cares about the wellbeing of the employees - Awesome work colleagues for the most part - Amazing bistro food, although less relevant in a work from home environment though - Lots of opportunity to learn

Cons

- The core platform/product has become extremely bloated and difficult to maintain. Developers loathe working on it. - The company is too eager to please customers and deliver whatever they ask for even when it is completely unreasonable. I have lost count of how many one-off initiatives for specific customers the company has chosen to do. - Recent new projects have either been rushed, lacked direction, or a combination of both. This is mostly an upper management problem. I could not stress how demoralizing this is to the engineers working on these projects. - Exodus of top talent

Pros

Great minds and opportunities to be mentored everywhere for the growing professional. Top Market offering and prestige, high product renown as a seller. Privately held and innovative. Top culture in our industry, and direct line to leadership on marquee deals. CEO and founder who is still highly invovled. Supporting leadership cast that are highly engaged.

Cons

Re-orgs have affected team unity but leadership vision is all about culture, transformation and growth.
