      Pros

      I am able to work days

      Cons

      Benefits keep getting worse. Starting in 2014, can only carry over 40-hours of paid time off. Is this how long term employees should be treated? Now I can start each year off with the same vacation time as a new hire. Made two recent acquisitions and then we adopt most of their failed practices. The engineering department is a total joke with time consuming protocols and too many useless departments.

      Pros

      Great company, everyone was very welcoming and accommodating. Management was pretty laid back but still expected results. This role was remote btw.

      Cons

      No bad things to say

      Pros

      Work from home is only pro

      Cons

      So many issues. No raises. Layoffs everywhere. When those happen you have to do extra work (no additional pay) Toxic culture Leaders are DINOSAURS who should be cut. C suite delusional on growth expectations Run away from this place and don’t ruin your career.
