Pros

The pros that were once here are gone. It used to be that this place was like a group of best friends making it through. There used to be free lunches. There used to be communication... Only good thing about this place are the employees. Not so much the upper management aside from a couple guys.

Cons

There was once a time I wouldn't be writing this review. I wrote an older 5 star review when I was a couple months in. That's no longer a reflection of this company as it stands today. This place is in shambles. I have to be careful what I say as I have tried to post before but it was taken down. In short, Presto will make a lot of promises to you that it either cant or wont keep. It happened to me that I was promised a certain amount of a raise only to have the company forget that they ever made the agreement in the first place. For having a disagreement in direction with my department I was isolated away from it, put into some limbo position 'individual contributor'. They also cut everyone's pay and promised to pay it back, and the only way you can get that money back is convoluted. If you quit or are fired, any money you lost from the cut stays lost. You have to work their an additional 12 months to get that money, only after they deem it 'safe' to reinstate normal wages. They're currently doing my friend dirty as well. When I left I was asked to pass off my work, which I did to another employee. No names, but we worked closely together and I have trained him up to do my job over the course of a year. I was told he would be taking on my devops role. Not so. Instead the vp pulls him into a meeting just to tell him how he's not going to get the position. Further more, they recently made it very clear they were not going to promote from within for my position. It used to be that the company cared more about its employees than money. Now I see that this was a facade. People I knew there are leaving or are planning to leave.
