Hypocritic, hierarchical org and micromanaged by scrum masters/delivery leads

Pros

Good work life balance Good cafeteria ( when it was open) Free parking (when the office reopens)

Cons

Archaic and worst performance management system. They won't tell you at the time of hiring, but even with great performance you can be at the bottom. Delivery leads micromanage and try to squeeze every second of engineers time with no autonomy for engineers. Senior leaders are laid back, out of touch with tech and won't listen. Product org treats engineering organization like a slave.

Pros

Great engineers. Descent regular engineers and life work balance.

Cons

Data engineering department in the Plano Campus is a viper pit. The Machiavellian managers have weaponized performance review and use it for their personal vendetta.
