Pros

-Free Lunch (4 out of the 5 days) -Most lower-level coworkers are willing to help you out -Some of the events that the company hosts are fun to participate in

Cons

-The onboarding process is ROUGH to say the least. You get a good start, but it reverts to startup-quality onboarding where you're almost on your own in some departments. -Benefits could be better (insurance-wise) -There is NO true internal movement unless it's out of necessity here. Job requirements are so high that internal applicants DON'T apply as they're told they don't meet the minimum. -There are no resources for you to learn how to move up or out of your position. They were in the process of creating a new structure for this, but it's just a structural change, not assistance with how to actually be better. -Once you find out your worth, you'll find that pay is not the greatest here. It could be worse, but don't be surprised if you're making less than others as a higher tiered employee. -The lack of product knowledge across the board makes it REALLY hard to get help when trying to address something (from how to market to how to support, it's a shame when nobody seems to know exactly how the newest features work besides one person) Lastly, upper management seems to be it complete disarray when it comes to the VPs. There's no communication between lower level and the C-level so nobody's ever on the same page, and it generally is very hard to get the right message about the company, its future, and your future when different people tell you polar opposites about what's going on.

I'm sorry to hear of your viewpoint. We have had over 40 internal promotions and transfers so far this year, including transitions between teams and departments, so there is certainly opportunity for continued growth. I see you're no longer with the company, so you missed out on the exciting news we shared this week that we were able to secure a 0% rate increase on medical benefits for our employees, and simplified our plans for easier use. We'll continue to share our progress with everyone in the organization through our monthly town halls and other channels as we completely agree that successful and consistent communication is the cornerstone of our continued growth. We wish you all the best in your career!

Pros

Been here a good while and the work still keeps me interested. There's a ton of opportunity to do something new in our problem space. The recent leadership changes on the R&D side have been a real step forward and they're clearly focused on getting the triad teams to win together instead of separately. What we've been shipping lately is something I can stand behind. For years, modernizing the products felt more like a promise than a plan, and that's finally starting to become real. It's good to see.

Cons

None, working here is great.

Pros

Great work life balance with flexible PTO and pay. Lots of really great people working here that I enjoy collaborating with. Everyone here has a great attitude and work ethic. I can see the positive changes really taking effect in the product/design/engineering teams. We have tons of meaningful and exciting work happening now. I am really proud to see our products becoming modernized and looking way more professional and sophisticated with a new design system. I've gotten to talk customers and see them get really about all the new things we're developing. I enjoy coming to work and doing great things with my colleagues.

Cons

I'm not sure this is really a con from my own perspective but we're just in a transformational period. That came with some hard decisions and lay offs earlier this year. Some people really thrive in a transforming environment but for others change can be hard. Our health insurance is just ok in my use of it, I'd prefer it if our benefits team changed to a better company and plan than UMR/United in 2027.
