Pros

Remote working. No others can really be called out.

Cons

Toxic workplace- cannot challenge decisions or ask for reasons why as explanations are refused and questions ignored. Crumbling tech stack - constant buyover of other companies has left a mess of systems patched together. Layoffs- ongoing layoffs with teams cut and only reasons given do not match actions of company.

Pros

I would say it’s a remote role that helps you save on gas until they suddenly pull a bait and switch.

Cons

This company is extremely unstable. They will smile to your face one day and let you go the next without any prior warning, leaving you suddenly without income or security for your family. Despite that, they continue sending emails pushing you to participate in company surveys and subtly pressure you to present it as a “great place to work,” which feels very disingenuous. Upper management consistently expects more work for less, and employees are often required to put in long hours. If you try to set reasonable boundaries—like sticking to an 8-hour workday—you’re made to feel like you’re not doing enough. The company also seems to prioritize acquiring other businesses, only to follow up with layoffs shortly after. Leadership messaging is also misleading. In meetings, they encourage employees to “speak to your manager” if workloads become overwhelming, but in reality, that support isn’t there. Additionally, I originally applied for a fully remote position, only to experience a bait-and-switch where I was later required to go into the office. Even then, upper management was rarely present or accessible. Overall, this was a very frustrating and disappointing experience. If you’re considering working here, be prepared for a very unpredictable Rocy ride!
