Pros

Decent pay Plenty of work

Cons

Overworked, weekends & nights are the norm Toxic chauvinistic culture: ignore female insight & contributions to help things go smoothly, until the wrong way has led us so far astray that the the project is doomed to fail, countless hours of work, strife, poor morale are wasted. Then, and only then, are the insights from the females put into practice, to save entire projects. The men take credit for these turnarounds. Women are routinely ignored in meetings. It's disgusting. Poor hires are made then stock around for 6-12 months, dragging down productivity. Harassment is in the daily culture. If you're female, have respect for women, or don't care for this kind of environment, run from this place.

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.
