Ventajas

Most colleagues that are below senior level were good to work with. Salaries and benefits are decent, but they were not very competitive compared to software engineers working at other companies.

Desventajas

The politics and culture in this company were horrible. I have worked with many senior level workers and I could count on one hand the number of good workers that were a pleasure to work with. The rest of the senior workers were only looking out for themselves. They micromanaged and made you work long hours. Employees in this companies love meetings, but they could not effectively run meetings. Most of the meetings I've attended were a waste of time. The other meetings were considered effective because the attendees were not responsive to instant messaging or emails.

Ventajas

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).

Desventajas

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).
