Pros

free soda, nice work space, cafe on site, some friendly people

Cons

pathetic HR, finance support; inconsistent and discouraging communication from management; constant stream of high-anxiety work with no respite; employees are thought of as cogs to help Paul Ricci make money; constant acquisition of new companies leaves things in turmoil; the opportunity for career growth and advancement is very limited due to how management is structured (i.e. the only way for a "regular" employee to get a meaningful promotion is for someone above you to leave or die); salaries are lower than at comparable companies;

Pros

The company offers excellent training and a thorough onboarding process, helping new hires feel well-prepared and confident. The small, close-knit teams foster a collaborative and supportive work environment where you never feel lost in the crowd. Employees take pride in the innovative technology and software being developed, which is recognized as impactful within the industry. (Note: The company was acquired by Microsoft to bring potential for future growth.)

Cons

While the company excels in many areas, there’s limited upward mobility, especially in certain career paths, which can be frustrating for those seeking advancement. Additionally, feedback from employees often feels like it’s not taken seriously, which can lead to disengagement when trying to influence change or improve processes.
