Pros

* Base pay is excellent, but varies drastically depending on your interview performance and negotiation. You get what you fight for. * Excellent WLB - mostly due to leaderships incapability to utilize the troops effectively, but still, you won't be overwhelmed here. This is a bug that happens to act like a feature. * 100% remote * Great co-workers - folks are smart, lots of Linux nerds here, great personalities * Fair & relatively streamlined interview process

Cons

* Incompetent leadership - like, completely. No vision, no strategy, no direction, and plenty of red tape to get new products in customers hands. Very sad to see. * Hard to be motivated long term when the company is driving aimlessly down the road to ??? * Too much generic talk about AI - we have absolutely no new ideas brewing and leadership doesn't know what to do in the AI space. This is just buzzword FOMO. * Indecisive - the recurring theme here is inept leadership. It's sad. * Don't even think about promotions. There's no clear path upwards and I have seen any robust leveling at this company.

Pros

Compensation and benefits are great. Most people/co-workers are really nice people. COO can be compelling and offset the CEO - but only for so long.

Cons

When absentee exec leadership does show their face, they are constantly chasing the new shiny thing. No consideration for what has been in flight, planned, or even released. Projects, products and internal org structures change daily. Resources are thin and we're told to "adopt AI in all things within 6 months." Sr mgmt trying to stay relevant by "solving" problems that don't exist and pushing agendas that don't benefit anyone aside from themselves. HR asking people to write positive reviews to offset reality um... ok??
