Pros

Decent corporate structure, with the usual perks and added benefits of being able to fully work remotely.

Cons

The level of incompetency is astonishing, especially from the management structure. The current TL is under qualified for her role, being a temp for a long time and not succeeding to move to perm. Constantly dealing with urgent issues, nothing end being done properly. Senior management decided to increase our portfolio by 60%, a project that had been discussed for months prior launching. We were not made aware of such an increase and change of process: The day this went live, we received so many calls and emails that even our TL asked us why we had so many dropped calls...while she was aware the change was coming. The irony was obviously lost somewhere: No leadership, planning, communication. Management 101 to be honest. All in all, shocking experience: Extremely bad and old tools, vague processes, moved from a inbound sales-ish role to full on support role with zero communication, very poor management in general, which is applicable to the N2 since he's more interested in getting exposure by posting charity events in slacks than actually working on his role...you better think twice before joining this team.

Pros

Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

Cons

1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
