Ok, WLB, forced stack ranking, limited tech availability
Tech Lead • Current Employee
June 11, 2025
Pros: * Decent set of tooling provided by C1 for engineers.
* Under the right org and manager, good WLB and team culture.
Cons: Forced stack ranking and a bottom 8-13% PIP at each level causes people to focus on high-visibility/high-impact work, neglecting or forcing other "less popular" engineers to do the grunt work like updates, maintenance, or on-call rotations to avoid getting PIPed. There's also a strong cultural emphasis on protecting one's own product from outside influence, which causes silos and friction between teams/departments.
Leadership talks out of both sides of their mouths, either because they don't know or don't want you to know what's coming next.

Good place to learn
Tech Lead • Current Employee
June 2, 2024
Pros: - Good benefits
- Good work-life balance
- Good technology stack
- Great place to learn
Cons: - Indifferent senior leadership.
- Workplace becoming more and more toxic due to forced distributions.
- Performance ratings and promotions process is hit or miss. You need to play the political game. More importantly, your manager needs to be willing to play the political game and have your back.
- All associate reviews are a total joke. Bad reviews become the manager's fault rather than SLT's incompetence and mismanagement. So, middle managers get burned from both directions.
