Pros

Trying to expand rapidly, so there is opportunity to move into leadership roles. Good salary for beginning software engineers, average otherwise. Generally relaxed-ish environment with ability to make friends.

Cons

Highly political atmosphere. This introduces a lot of rigidity in the decision making process since it reverts to an authority based model with a lack of feedback from below. Generally you will be assigned a business app and have a fixed schedule and variable scope (hint: positive creep only) with expectation of high quality (good luck, code reviews are often rubber stamped, QA isn't taken seriously by those in charge). Many things are backwards and you won't be able to change them since the people in charge of development will take suggestions of different technologies, processes, infrastructure, or application design as time wasters/signs of laziness/lack of commitment. Ironically, there is/was still a lot of manual testing going on since it is faster than changing the process...

Pros

Some of the best colleagues I've ever met

Cons

We saw multiple women get fired over nothing at the Labs. Extreme lack of experience all around especially in the software industry. I think the Labs will improve but maybe give this one a few months to work itself out. Also the CEO hates proper healthcare.

Pros

Fast-paced learning environment, starting salary is typically higher than surrounding area

Cons

Problems with female discrimination. Experience depends greatly on team, lack of transparency from leadership on all levels. Poor mental health and morale across most teams. Poor incentives, poor growth track. Poor work life balance and high demands.
