Pluspunten

-Great benefits, including up to 12.5% 401k match and an ESPP -Depending on team, you get to work on interesting products and features -Surrounded by bright minded and motivated individuals -Good place to start your career and build a retirement nest egg -Incredible work life, balance while hybrid/remote, incredible manager, team and projects while I was there, If you don't mind on site

Minpunten

-Removed option for hybrid work without exceptions despite peak productivity during remote timeframe. Not pragmatic move by leadership. (reduced rating from 4.5 stars to 1 stars because of this). Morale has flatlined and it feels like people are going to quit and my team is going to fall apart soon, -Relatively flat company ladder. Financial appeal of working here declines when you reach senior unless you want a lifetime career here and are focused on building retirement. -Average base compensation compared to industry standards, most of compensation is in retirement.

Pluspunten

Good benefits and work life balance. It's a good culture and I've never worked at a place where your immediate peers are this helpful and pleasant to work with, even across teams and offices. If you want to just come in and do just what is required for your job and go home with the knowledge you have a stable job, this is the perfect place to work. I'd only recommend working here if you just want a job, but don't care about a career.

Minpunten

There is poor career advancement, especially if you aren't male. Leadership does not care about leading people. The RTO has made working here less appealing. The excuse that you can't collaborate unless you are in the same building makes no sense when you work with people in 6 different countries. It is about control and appearances, all due to incredibly poor senior leadership strategies. The pay is also low and so is the quality of the software you work on. Leadership likes to talk quality, but they like fast and cheap. They will not support you in actual software quality nor implement changes to improve it. The same issues happen over and over without improvement.
