Pros

Benefits are kind of ok?

Cons

Not willing to hire for the industry standard, doesnt seek to understand what you actually do, mandates working in the office, poor reporting structure, and the raises are so small they are insulting.

Pros

Mostly interesting engineering work Good work-life balance and managers who understand schedules Decent benefits package (especially 401K)

Cons

Little opportunity for remote work Compensation is not competitive compared to engineering roles elsewhere Easy to stagnate if your manager is not advocating for you or setting proper expectations Promotion decisions are not transparent Internal transfers are difficult and uncommon Company growth has created excessive bureaucracy Individual responsibility is becoming less clear as the company rapidly grows
