Pros

Quite good downtown location. Not bad benefits.

Cons

If you are thinking about joining this company - talk to someone who recently worked there. You'll meet nice people on interview and after joining will see how they gradually turn into different sort of folks. And 80-90 percent chance your tenure with the company will be very short - just look at company pictures posted on this website, they are taken a year ago and only couple people are still with the company...

Pros

Lots of fresh faces in the company and it's giving a hope it can reset the mood and company will finally reinvent itself. In the recent move development was re-organized into few teams and more experienced and right people were placed to lead them instead of those who could just talk and spread toxic culture around. Another positive change - we finally got the head of engineering, it's absolutely vital position for software company but top management didn't understand it for very long time. Hopefully they will realize that tech leads and architects are needed here too.

Cons

Still a lot of struggles around development, which is quite slow. Newly hired people are very inexperienced and it's a result of flaws in hiring process - cultural fit means much more than skills and experience, there should be more balanced approach

Pros

The employees were fantastic to collaborate with, quite a lot of autonomy on projects

Cons

Turnover rate in company is extremely high - layoffs after layoffs creates very unstable environment and people are resigning on their own, in just few months the stuff has changed by more than a half. Leadership is inexperienced and doesn't listen to people - all you say in one-on-one meeting accepted with enthusiasm and... ignored or even used against you later. The quality of hiring process is low - very often weak people hire even weaker people (maybe just to look good?). There is no clear vision or direction, priorities keep changing, development is delayed, customers left neglected.
