Pros

Interesting technical challenges. There's always room to come up with creative ways for solving software problems.

Cons

Executive is too secretive. Way too many executives and middle managers sucking money out of the company without actually producing anything. The rank-and-file are the brain power of this business, this is a software company and the software comes from the heads of the workers, not the continually changing executive staff which just sucks money away from the people doing the actual work.

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
