Pros

not bad medical insurance sometimes you can get stocks of the company and sell them

Kontras

- Company scales horizontally, quality is not needed here. - A lot of "lay workers" work here, lazy people. They do not know how to program, also do not want to do anything. That's why there a lot of crazy legacy code. Many projects have outdated libraries. - Many managers and technical directors doesn't want to do anything but grabbing money. Some of them do not have technical education at all (the do not understand anything what is happing in their projects), the rest of them are young girls who do not know about programming also. - Since there is high staff turnover in the company, many projects are trash. The code becomes unsupportable since some strange man has written the code and then moved to another team/resign from the company. - Low salary (it's lower than average market salary) - A lot of problems are not being solved since people are only discussing the problems, but not solving them, E.g, the problem have been being discussed for a year, but no solution has been suggested, people only complain and do not solve the problem. - There is a cartel in the company and better technical solutions are discarded since that cartel defends certain men. You can do much better (improve performance or create much more convenient solution) solution but it will be rejected since the project will be not supported and the people from the cartel will loose job.

Pros

It used to be a good company who made a premium product, with smart coworkers, interesting tasks that involved a lot of math problems, with detailed code reviews. It still has generous PTO, sick days and a discounted lunch (in Raleigh office).

Kontras

Management changed and there is an ongoing optimisation with hidden layoffs / force quits with no severance. Biased performance reviews with high expectations. Frequent goal changes and useless projects that will eventually be terminated and the whole team will be shuffled or dismissed. Complete delivery mess. Left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. Knowledge transfer sucks. The only way to understand the feature is to dig into the code (bad for newbies). New unqualified and arrogant low-level managers and team-leads, hide their uselessness on endless meetings, blah-blah-blahing with no real impact just to add visibility. A lot of stress, 5 days from office in an open space with no remote option even for new parents. The base is low with no stocks. Pro-Russian company, previously based in Moscow, relocated the whole office to the US and Europe due to sanctions during Russian-Ukrainian war (they recently laid-off a few Ukrainian guys).
