Pros

Good place for entry-level engineers. The tech is getting modernized, resulting in great learning opportunities for those early in their career.

Cons

Nepotism in leadership is appalling. The company is mostly run by ex-Amazon and ex-Staples employees. Engineering teams are disconnected from one another and running in different directions. A lack of horizontal alignment creates chaos. It's a toxic environment with a high turnover rate. There's a complete lack of diversity in engineering management.

Advice to Management

Stop trying to be Amazon and build your own culture. Address the lack of diversity in leadership.
