Fortunate to be with a team with friendly, helpful people 9/80 schedule is nice Structured way of working There are provisions for a hybrid working environment

Cons

Development process is old and there wasn't any effort or interest to improve it Isolated/restrictive development environment Structured way of working may not be good for everyone Pay can be below the competitive rate Opportunities for growth seem limited Lots of tribal knowledge

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
