Pros

if you're into politics and admin work, there's a lot of it for you to get into. Classic corporate ladder even for a tech worker. Hybrid WFH arrangements

Cons

Bad place to be if you're a half decent developer. Lack of tech culture. Being a software engineer here feels more like you're going through admin paperwork than developing software. Lots of managers, not enough leaders. Toxic management, especially at a lower level. Low bar for developers, meaning you'll have to do your own work on top of cleaning up after others.

Pros

Good pay and benefits, lots of vacation days and holidays so I can take many trips. If you get the right role and manager, the job is awesome. Lots of opportunities to learn new technologies and skills and take classes for free.

Cons

Tampa traffic sucks, and since most roles are hybrid it's a headache to go back and forth. Some coworkers complain of hustle culture. I haven't experienced it myself (except maybe the first couple of years out of school), but almost every person I talk to seems to complain about it. Maybe I just got lucky with my current role. Also there's layoffs that can happen with little to no warning, There's been several times I've seen coworkers and team members let go and thought I would be next.
