Pros

Imagine working where "Product" is determined by sales and project management that refuses to move dates or budget. Yes, it's chaos. Most of us engineers are all overworked, overstressed we are all looking for new roles in 2020 now.

Cons

The organization is so corrupt and has their blinders on so tightly that they refuse to look into how to actually run Product Management. Product is now a part of the sales organization which now means that we in engineering are building based on the whims of whatever insane idea a sales person come up with during bid phase with no regard as to the impact to strategy or cost to do it . This is 100% literally the opposite of any technology company best practice in existence. Coming from larger tech into this role I can absolutely say that I don't blame anyone for finding a new job in 2020.

Pros

My manager was awesome. Job was diverse and creativity was welcomed. Salary was pretty good, even if I was technically doing two types of positions. Co-workers were also good, some great, actually. Work life balance was also pretty good. All credit to that goes to my manager and the managers I've had before my last one.

Cons

In the end, my loyalty seemed to not be valued. My hard work showed and I met deadlines before the due date. Only called in sick when actually sick, and hardly took time off. The thing that bothered me the most was the way they laid me off. Group Teams video meeting, but the person giving us the news was not on video. Just a black screen, telling you that was your last day and that after that meeting your access will be cut off. And it was. I almost felt like an email would've been better than that black screen. That is really the only time I felt bad about the way things went. I know corporate life brings in the usual fiscal year layoffs, but it just felt wrong the way it was done, in my opinion.
