Typical Small company

Pros

The work life balance is great.

Cons

Lots of projects but not enough people to work them. Most of the company has been there for less than 2 years. They hand out performance improvement plans like candy and teams are constantly changing requiring everyone else to get the new person up to date. I saw my entire team change twice during 1 year.

Pros

The pay wasn't bad for the position

Cons

The leadership was a farce, both offensive and derogatory. I was hired and fired in less than 30 days. The reason was performance, and as someone who is tasked focused, I wasn't given any tasks. The management kept logins and access ompletely restricted and in the 30 days I was there, I had not been giving access to the systems required to do the job of a system administrator. In the end I was fired and they hired someone internal to the company the next day. This tells me this was planned in advance and due to govenement contracts they needed to "attempt" to fill the position externally first.

Great expectations

Pros

Well, the perks were: flexible hours, work at home, decent salary considering I made it into a software engineering role from hardware test, 9/80 schedule. They gave me a phone (an iPhone no less), nice touch. Work/life balance was good, but then they never really gave me any work to do, so moot point.

Cons

Work was spotty, mostly busy work or trying to pass time. Was told upon onboarding that they were very excited (and so was I), but that faded fast. I worked from Orlando with another site, and the lack of network bandwidth was ridiculous; during a status meeting there was a motivational "video" played and it was like watching a slideshow in slow motion. This is 2023, not 1999... Oh, and you have to stay glued to your PC, they track your work time via Teams status. If you leave your computer, your status changes to "away". Might wanna buy a mouse jiggler.
