Pros
- Easy going - Genuinely competent coworkers - OK medical benefits
Cons
- Poor management leads towards an unclear road map of intended functionalities - The business side will often times talk about how Engineers in the firm are overpaid - Lay offs due to inept leadership - Largely noncompetitive compensation packages - No real sense of career progression - Incredibly political positions in mid level management Elaborating on con #2, I think it's important to note that the business side will often talk about how the company is spending too much on technology and how the technology division makes no money. Sadly, this happens because the company is NOT a technology company, as mentioned several times by HR. Your average Software Engineer in the firm earns from 80 - 100k. That's not being overpaid, that's being UNDERPAID. Underneath all the smiles and sense of collaboration, nobody is actually passionate about the end product they work on. This leads towards people burning out or just not putting in their 100%.
