Challenging but rewarding
Software Engineer • Former Employee
New York, New York, United States
December 10, 2020
Pros: Working on some of the most exciting and challenging problems.
Usually, good teamwork and opportunities to grow and take on more responsibility.
It seems the culture has really changed over the past 2-3 years.
Cons: Some days can be long hours, but not as extreme as some people make out.
2.0
Management thinks money can solve all problems
Software Engineer • Former Employee
August 14, 2020
Pros: Pay is high, some good apples among the sea of bad ones.
Cons: These guys will exploit you like crazy. Not just during working hours, but also if you don't make them happy, they'll find every corner of your contract to cut you out.
The culture is representative of this huffing and puffing, grudge-holding attitude. If you're coming from tech, you won't like it here unless you're a senior executive who wants to do the huffing and puffing.
