Pros

Flexible Work Environment (ie. Remote) Unless you live in a Milwaukee zip-code, then you are "required" to go in for "culture"

Cons

1. Two large layoffs in 12 months 2. One of the layoffs was given a fun project name 3. They are hiring people now, but not re-hiring the folks that were laid off 4. Employees that "made the cut" were given responsibilities they aren't even qualified for with NO pay raise, NO title change and NO training 5. Toxic meeting culture 6. Gossipy 7. Inadequate compensation; base salary and comp plans 8. Limited growth opportunities 9. Strategic reviews (listing sometimes meets or doesn't always meet expectations) - Classic tactic to have an excuse to lay people off later I literally want to cry nearly every day working here. The mental health load has been nearly unbearable. Do yourself a favor and stay away!

Pros

The company has gone through a leadership change over the past two years and it shows — the strategy makes sense now and people actually believe in it. The people here are great and willing to help, which makes a big difference. If you want to grow and take on more, the opportunity is there.

Cons

The product portfolio is broad and priorities can shift quickly — if you need a predictable environment this probably isn't the right fit. The pace is fast and you have to be comfortable with that.
