Pros

They allow you to be remote.

Cons

Poor management team that doesn't have a consistent strategy, ultimately leaving everyone confused and fearing for their jobs. Changing strategy on the fly isn't helping anyone and just alienates who you have left. C-Suite and retail development teams consistently enter poor partnerships without proper research, leading to overly stressful conversations about why nothing is working.

Pros

Swiftly has built a commanding position in a challenging space where retailers need sophisticated data service but don't have the ability, for the most part, to develop these systems in-house. Lot of smart people in the trenches doing good work.

Cons

Engineering Leadership and many C-suite residents are out of touch with what is really going on at the ground level and are making decisions based on trendy buzzword bingo cards, or so it seems. Meeting mania and overhead "office hours" are sapping real productivity. Some engineering managers are obsessed with the idea that AI will solve all and every problem.
