Pros

- WLB - Most coworkers are easy-going

Cons

- Leadership is horrible - Wasteful acquisitions leading to future cuts and layoffs - Slow pace - Product management vision sucks - Leaning into AI without any regard for quality or user experience/security - Products turning into vibe-coded messes - Compensation is way below market Good place to work for a bit, but stay here long enough, and you'll be unemployable. Skills atrophy is real.

Pros

*This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* None. Used to be a great place to work. I enjoyed the work I did and the various teams I worked with.

Cons

*This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* -Health benefits have gotten worse each year. -Constant layoffs. -Changed from an 8 hour 3 shift day, 5 days a week to a 10 hour 2 shift day, 4 days out of the week. The idea was to save money on overtime, then they started asking the employees to stay the 4 hours between shifts. Then they started asking the employees to work the extra 3 days. Then they made the employees sign a waiver, making the 3 days mandatory when needed. -Flat raises, everyone gets the same raise. -Lower management no longer cares -Upper management is too focused on vanity projects or no longer cares
