      One of my least favorite places, period!

      Pros

      Unlimited PTO was appreciated (and well used)

      Cons

      Working at this company is a disorganized mess. I came on through an acquisition, and it seems like everyone else did too. They have no infrastructure in place for dealing with the influx of new employees, and no sense of what makes a job meaningful for the people who work there. Most of my former colleagues have quit because their day to day work life had become an incredibly uninspiring species of disconnected low-stakes tasks with no direction or vision. I felt completely abandoned by management here as well as voiceless and disempowered. I was also incredibly underpaid for my role, and told that this was essentially "my problem" for being based in the US as opposed to Canada. This company is 100% style over substance, trading in bargain basement upper management that has no idea what it's doing and has created a directionless mess at all levels below. Gives lip service to diversity and inclusion, when everything is a front for a company that clearly doesn't actually care about its employees, no matter who they are. Can't wait to leave this place, and never look back.

      Pros

      They offer good compensation package and RSU to keep you there

      Cons

      This company is not a safe space for women at any level. There's no women or anyone representing any sort of diverse background in the product & tech leadership group for North America and Europe. Keep in mind that it represents a group of 70-80 people who happen to be all white males. Even the VPs have admitted it's an issue in front of everyone at town hall meetings... but yet they are not doing anything to fix the situation. They keep on promoting their friends that happen to look just like them, there's no career growth possibilities for anyone who's not part of their boys club. I haven't spoken to one person in my dev team that seems to be happy at their job lately, some had more than 3 different managers in less than 6 months, and it has been like that for quite a long time. There's a constant change of leadership and vision every quarter. It's mentally exhausting. If tons of people haven't left yet it's simply because they are resting and vesting...

      Pros

      nice office catered lunches, 5 to 7s lots of leads coming in

      Cons

      Lots of fake. This company definitely has AI in its future - especially the hipsters in HR Dax and his associates have entrusted with hiring. The tools who work in HR are a complete and utter joke. Can't wait for AI to replace all of your jobs
