Pros

Competitive compensation and good benefits

Cons

Employees are overworked and resources are stretched, managers unfairly favor certain employees during performance evaluations and rely on subjective impressions or personal biases rather than objectively assessing everyone’s performance. As a result, some employees receive better reviews and rewards not because they performed better, but because they are favored by management.

Pros

- salary is okay - people are nice enough - good work/life balance

Cons

- very boring - no challenges at work - nobody cares about engineering excellence - if you try to change anything, people will try to stop you and say all of the reasons why things are the way they are - leadership is overpaid, they do absolutely nothing - jack does nothing, but loves bitcoin - eng tools and frameworks are ancient, and if you try to change things, people will tell you "it will never happen" and try to stop you - remote is good for your personal life, but your career growth and engineering skills will completely stagnate
