Pros
Great office space.
Great coworkers.
Ample opportunity for growth.
Company and community events are frequent - Bike build, community cleanups and many other fun events.
Parent company provides a stipend that offsets ~80-100% of benefits costs.
AI initiatives appear to focus on "Do more with the same workforce" rather than "Do the same with less workforce"
Kontras
Pay is low for the market.
Raises are non-existent outside of promotions.
Actual health benefits are mediocre. 401k matching is capped at $5000.
Growing pains due to massive engineering team growth leading to constant management structure shuffling and team rearrangement.
Tech stack is playing catch up.
"Documentation" for several integral components/workflows lives entirely in the head of 2 or 3 senior engineers.
