poor management
Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: No pros, this place sucks except for the coworkers, and we all bonded over how bad the management was.
Cons: Poor management and company organization; difficult to work with, make promises with customers but never talk with engineering, and then force us to work overtime to meet promises. After deployment, the project is suddenly dead in the water and rolled back, showing highly incompetent senior management.
