Pros

Benefits are on par with other companies (401k, health, dental, vision) My specific team and boss was amazing, but that varies from team to team as there is no leadership training. You might get a good boss and team and you might get a bad one.

Cons

This is a SAAS company in the health insurance space that pays their engineers under the market by 50-75%. That includes your leads, your experienced ones - there is no promotion no matter what and the top leads work 12+ hours a day. Sweatshop + little pay. There is no training or onboarding for new engineers at all. The team will help you and they are amazing people but there is little structure within the dev teams. There is no voice from the peons. If you're not a VP, you have no say and you better not complain or raise any issue (even legit blocks or questions) whatsoever. Only managers are allowed to innovate. You're a peon? Don't bring your ideas. They don't want them because you aren't allowed to have them if you don't have a title of 'manager' or 'vp'. The more the company makes, the less they pay or care for their employees - it went from a 7 figure to an 8 figure business during covid and they cancelled some of their benefits, there is no more Christmas gifts or bonus, and they shot down a 'inflation cost of living' 1x raise for everyone to account for the insane inflation. The fat cats take the money while the peons work the sweatshop. I've heard the females make even less than the males and the males make 50%-75% of the market rate due to inflation
