      Pros

      You get to own large parts of the tech stack. Low stress. Good work life balance.

      Cons

      Company is experiencing wage compression. New grad / entry level pay is keeping pace with the market, but senior pay is not. The gap in pay between new grads and seniors is shrinking leading to turn over and loss of senior talent. Low level management seems to recognize the issue, but senior leadership doesn't seem to care.

      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.
