Pros

Worked with good people, on interesting problems.

Cons

Company has poor direction and planning from the top-level. Seemingly overhired, laid-off staff to appease bean-counters or follow in the footsteps of bigger companies. They talk about "One Cadence One Team" but like all companies do not care about their employees. Overworked for months before lay-off. Pay is below average for SWE in the Boston Area. Moving back to full RTO.
