Pros

Team members I work with are great

Cons

Management is ruining everything by dissolving teams responsible for core features, no movement up, no promotions, no raises. I thought it had something to do with me despite my metrics being much higher than others on the team but my colleagues confirm they were also told they do not have an option for climbing the ladder.

Pros

Flexible Schedule, Good Pay, Remote possible, benefits, good for growth and learning in own time.

Cons

The office classic of not enough work or too much. Constant shift of using something to it going away and needing to use something new.

Pros

Interesting problems and good access to latest tools to do the job. Motivated coworkers

Cons

Upper management is absurdly disconnected from doing anything remotely valuable. They are useless. All vision and innovation comes from the lowest levels. We really don't need directors and above at this company - they take large salaries and promote the idiots instead of the innovators.
