Pros

Mostly good coworkers trying to do the right things given what they know/can influence Great brand

Cons

Passive Aggressive Culture Lack of clear accountability/decision makeing especially at the Executive Staff Level. Risk averse culture - doing nothing is a better solution Weak (and I do mean weak) management... Senior Management is disengaged and unaccountable for thier behavior.

Pros

It used to be a good company who made a premium product, with smart coworkers, interesting tasks that involved a lot of math problems, with detailed code reviews. It still has generous PTO, sick days and a discounted lunch (in Raleigh office).

Cons

Management changed and there is an ongoing optimisation with hidden layoffs / force quits with no severance. Biased performance reviews with high expectations. Frequent goal changes and useless projects that will eventually be terminated and the whole team will be shuffled or dismissed. Complete delivery mess. Left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. Knowledge transfer sucks. The only way to understand the feature is to dig into the code (bad for newbies). New unqualified and arrogant low-level managers and team-leads, hide their uselessness on endless meetings, blah-blah-blahing with no real impact just to add visibility. A lot of stress, 5 days from office in an open space with no remote option even for new parents. The base is low with no stocks. Pro-Russian company, previously based in Moscow, relocated the whole office to the US and Europe due to sanctions during Russian-Ukrainian war (they recently laid-off a few Ukrainian guys).

Pros

- Opportunity to influence team goals and direction - Intelligent, dedicated, capable colleagues - Great benefits and employee perks

Cons

- Out-of-touch CEO - Recent (seemingly arbitrary) switch from hybrid to fully in-person work model - Declining opportunity for advancement and overall confidence in senior leadership - Regular RIFs leading to increased workloads across the board and increasing tension among staff
