Pros

- Team lunches twice a week.

Cons

- No life/work balance, crazy overtime , nights, weekends, holidays, you name it, no pay or lieu. - Toxic environment, politics from dusk to dawn, super micro management. - No room for growth or advancement, just a place to pass your time. - Using punch clock and super strict about 8 hrs a day even if you worked 12hrs the day before, they don't care. - Benefits are less then basic, 10 vacation days, 3 sick days. people used to get to the office dead sick and infect everyone else just because of this. - Management can't follow their own story. Trying to show that the company is doing great financially but they are counting the cents. - Also, management is non-approachable, if you talk to any of the management(about 7 people), you are risking your job. Same goes for speaking your mind. - Office equipment is the cheapest you will ever find, breaking cheap IKEA desks and chairs. Developers are working with expired or trial software just for the company to save a few bucks. - Zero transparency, basically the attitude is "Shut up and do your job". If you ask questions you get in trouble. - Laughing or joking around with your colleagues is strictly prohibited and is considered a "waste of company's time". - As soon as someone leaves they trash his/her performance and how they damaged the business - Very sexist and chauvinist environment towards women.

Pros

Trulioo is an amazing place to work. I'm working in and familiar with the San Diego office, so your milage may vary if you're in another office. In San Diego, everyone is super friendly, super collaborative, hard working, and bright. They really follow the motto "work hard play hard" for San Diego. Despite being relaxed and friendly and sociable, somehow everyone gets all their work done and goes above and beyond. It's usually hard to find a mix of actually accomplishing something meaningful with your work and not being overworked, but I definitely feel that here. Although it is a lot of work sometimes. My boss and team is awesome, and my buddies on other teams also like their teams and their bosses. Again, specifically talking about SD. The culture is great. The new (and old) CEO are both pretty good and pretty transparent and friendly. The CTO and CPO are super awesome. I don't know the other C level guys so I can't speak to that. I've heard mixed things about Vancouver, where the company is based, and I imagine most of the negative reviews here are from there. I visited once and everyone was very friendly, but I don't really have the info to say what it's like to work there.

Cons

Until very recently, the compensation was just not close to industry standard. A lot of us were hired at the same time, and I think in typical software company practice, we onboarded with high salaries and then basically stayed there regardless of inflation and regardless of accomplishment and status. Recently they made a bit of an internal push to get closer to market, but we're still not there. I love working here, but there's a possibility you're getting paid a little less than other companies for the same work.

Pros

- identity issue has not been solved yet for customers, so there is still a business for another two years

Cons

- all the exec team is gone, some great leaders - culture is not one of innovation and excitement and instead job preservation
