Pros

No pros to talk about.

Cons

Severe disconnect between leadership and the engineering teams. Director-level management rewards corporate politics and favoritism over technical capability and hard work. There is a distinct lack of genuine technical knowledge at the top, covered up by buzzwords and empty talk. If you value a meritocracy where skill matters more than playing political games, look elsewhere.

Pros

The team was great to work with and the general work environment was hard to beat

Cons

It felt like sales and upper management completely dropped the ball with our product. We had what could have been a large success in the market but we were too ignored to really push ourselves towards new customers. Pretty much the whole team was laid off as a result.
