Pros

The pay is decent, nothing spectacular The work-life balance is very good, you can always take a break if you need it, unless you're in a meeting obviously The expectations from leaders are reasonable, if you're able to use the platforms of your choosing (although see below for why that doesn't happen) The people around are usually very helpful, but can sometimes provide mediocre advice or solutions, and have a limited ability to help through no fault of their own.

Cons

Most often the platforms are imposed (mostly tools from Microsoft that are paid for at a global level, such as the power platform), which can heavily impact time to market of developed projects. There can be lots of frustration due to responsibilities that impact your productivity over which you have no control, as they are held back by dependencies on api development teams, or approval processes, or resource allocation for certain projects.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
