Pros

Pay is pretty much median for tech. Benefits are okay. Coworkers are nice.

Cons

Where to begin? There is no senior leadership here at all; it’s all college kids. No senior dev would ever come here because they see through the trash, so that's why they prey on college grads.

Your leader is probably going to be the same age or younger than you. It shines light on the volatility of this company.

Everyone runs around like a chicken with their head cut off. The code is a disaster; upper management is clueless to software and treats employees like cheap labor. They will lead you on about career prospects, then through sheer evil, at the last minute, ditch you.

Employees feed into this out of fear of being fired, so you can’t blame them, as they are just trying to support their families.

New leadership is creepy and extremely unqualified. I have no idea how they even got to c-suite.

I would only recommend here if you have no options, which is the majority of people that return because we all know what this company is about. They create an illusion of a false reality that you soon figure out once you have witnessed it internally.

I would take a job anywhere else because this company's reputation is going to get really bad over the next few years.

Advice to Management

Start treating employees like people, not cheap, worthless labor. Don’t lead people on with long-term potential and growth, and then do the opposite. Stop lying to employees' faces, especially young, gullible people who are just trying to make it in the world.
