Pros

- Good Pay - Great mid management and leadership (outside of Engineering) - Great HR/People Team

Cons

-Engineering's executive leader frequently demands 70+ working hours a week, demeaning communication style, doesn't listen to recommendations from anybody "because he's the CTO," continuously changes requirements for projects or new platforms that results in said long working hours and then blames the Engineers working the implementation or other departments for the perceived delay, establishes unrealistic timelines, and seems to have a fundamental dislike for anybody who offers any type of opinion that is outside of his own. - There is a constant revolving door of employees in Engineering over the past 2 years due to the CTO's management style and it is detrimental to the overall success of the company as a whole. - Significant numbers of SW developers and engineers have quit over the past few months; i have never seen so many people leave a department so quick

Pros

Good benefits Managers who are nice Company is doing well financially Coworkers are capable and generally very nice to work with

Cons

The development process is pretty similar to the one I used in my last job in 2012--nowhere close to CICD. Testing is done by QA, infra is owned by the platform team, BE is owned by BE team, FE is owned by FE team. There is a lot of bureaucracy and throwing things over the wall. Service architecture contains many layers of services. Most products lack automated tests and canaries. Production incident troubleshooting seems to involve casts of dozens. There are yearly layoffs and fairly frequent restructures. Benefits have been cut. I know that's very common these days in a tough job market, but the company has been posting record profits. There is a technical ladder, but once you advance beyond Sr Dev, there is little chance to code or be involved in day to day work.
