Great environment at the time

Business Outlook

Pros

Immediate management was really great and we were fostering a close knit team and environment. Can't speak to how the team may have changed now that it is under Broadcom as all of us took our packages and left.

Cons

Raises weren't very common and there wasn't a lot of mobility to go elsewhere.

Overall pretty good

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

4+ weeks time off Great benefits Relatively competitive salary Relaxed office environment. Very lean organizational structure, not stuffed with mid-level managers. Great co-workers

Cons

Total compensation is heavily based on company performance (stock price and bonus metrics). Yearly raises and promotions are monetarily very small. Promotion criteria is based almost entirely on how long you've been there rather than ability or results. Work from home policy isn't great. Mainframe software isn't very interesting and can get pretty tedious and boring (opinion).
