Pros

The only reason to work for this company is out of desperation, complacency, or lack of experience. About the only thing they have going for them is the involvement of personal/work life (if you're into that sort of thing).

Cons

Almost everything in the interview was misleading. They're not actually following standards, aren't using recent versions of anything, don't follow best practices for source control or software development, are using employees like monkeys, aren't flexible to new processes, use word-of-mouth to convey important team-altering information, regularly have emergency issues during off-time, avoid or ignore employee issues, and the list goes on. The biggest issue is a stead-fast aversion to change by most of the management with an attitude like a ostrich with a head in the stand.

Pros

Love the Energy Work Remote Reorg is painful, but future is bright

Cons

Work Remote. Its a plus and a negative as it is sometimes hard to build camaraderie.

Pros

I work on a small team, I know everyone in my site. The work is very low stress, when I leave at the end of the day I can leave it all behind me. They were very supportive when I had a major medical event last year and needed 6 weeks off on about two weeks notice.

Cons

Much of the company acts like those who work in the warehouse don't exist. Things are very focused on sales agents and the folks who work out of HQ. The company is also very pro-AI which doesn't align with my values.
