Pros

Some cool people and opportunities to work on things that will positively impact the world. 9/80 schedule

Cons

Management is inept, they'll do everything they can to make themselves look good at the cost of the engineers' sanity. The requirement gathering process is nonsensical and they'll say yes to any of the customer's insane demands. A lot of work is outsourced to India in order to save money, but US workers are expected to keep with their time zone which creates burden on everyone. Pay is low. Processes are archaic.

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.
