Pros

Great place if you're looking for work-life balance or settling down. Supportive team and genuinely good colleagues. Decent benefits and stability.

Cons

Stagnant career growth – Learning opportunities are scarce unless you hustle outside the job. The role itself won't push you forward. Upskilling is just for show – Even if you invest your time and effort to learn new things, the environment won’t let you apply any of it. Growth is blocked by outdated mindsets. Company-first, people-last – Organizational goals are prioritized while employee development is an afterthought. You’re a cog, not a creator. No promotions, no hikes – Recognition comes in words, not raises. Every attempt to ask is met with the same script: “Everyone is waiting for a promotion” or “We truly value your contribution.” Spoiler alert: That value doesn’t show up in your payslip. Token morale boosters – Don’t expect meaningful change. Instead, brace yourself for a thank-you email or an ice cream day and pretend it’s motivation. Good place to rest. Not to grow. Stay too long, and you'll forget what ambition feels like.

Pros

At this point? None honestly.

Cons

They did a complete 180 since I got hired. Came in as remote during COVID and now that they forced most people back to the office, they made us 3rd class citizens in the company. Can't get a raise, a promotion, any spiffs or even the same contests that the people in the office do. This company does not keep promises and has been constantly doing workforce reductions ever year like clockwork for 4 years now. The COO Jeff Clarke is an absolute clown as well, you have to go into the office dressed as business casual, but this guy goes to One Dell World in undersized lame t-shirts every year. Hypocrisy at all levels of this company. Just looking for a good opportunity and I am out, after talking to my co workers I feel like 70-80% feel the same. The tools also suck and are down half the time as well.
