Pros

There are a lot of smart, good people here. You will certainly learn a lot if you have the gumption. You won't get your hands held, but if you have questions, people will help. 100% remote if that's your jam. If you prefer the office, this is actually a con because there are none to go to.

Cons

All that was good at the predecessor company (Limelight Networks) was swept away. CEO has barely contained contempt for most of the people who were with Limelight originally. There was a LOT wrong at Limelight, to be sure, but we never got a "notice of delisting" when it was LLNW, either. CEO has been in place over 2 years and blaming the old management (and I'm not defending them, they were not great either) is wearing thin. Tells us in all-hands "work smarter not harder" then whines how he's working 18-hour days to "save the company" in the next one. It was all I could do not to say "you should work smarter, not harder" in reply to that. And recruiters and HR people posting here frankly don't know. No recruiter here has celebrated their 2 year anniversary yet and only one of them have even been here for a full year. And now 360 reviews are coming. What's next, stack ranking? Frankly, my heart is broken to see what this place has become. It used to be something really wonderful. Problems galore, but we at least felt like we're all pulling together. I don't even know what direction to pull in now.
