Pros

Flex time, excellent co-workers, work environment, free food. Plenty of challenging work. Upper management is extremely technical and hands on which is rare.

Cons

Salaries are well below market value. Benefits below market standard (if you have a family), especially vacation time (vacation time is very poor). Poor communication from upper management. Most of the development staff is unaware of project happenings outside of the project they are working on. Mentoring from seasoned employees seems lacking. Delegation and trust appears to be lacking. Much of the Sr. staff is overworked while other staff have little to no work. Appears that only a couple people in the company have decision power while others are ignored, including those is "high" positions.

Pros

Cutting-edge intelligent transportation technology with a talented and passionate team. Opportunity to engage with a wide range of clients in the transportation sector and learn about government funding programs. Flexible work environment and good technical resources. Talented colleagues who care about their work and provide in-depth training to make sure you learn

Cons

High turnover across multiple teams due to burnout, unclear direction, and toxic management practices Several key employees leaving without replacement, signaling serious business and distributor challenges Leadership failed to adequately address serious safety and harassment incidents, particularly during business travel HR processes felt performative; concerns were acknowledged but rarely meaningfully addressed or resolved Discriminatory behaviors and unfair treatment significantly impacted morale and fostered a toxic environment Lack of adequate support during difficult situations and unfair disciplinary actions were common Retaliation against employees who raised issues created a culture of fear and silence Poor communication around expectations, performance metrics, and job security contributed to uncertainty and stress
