Pros

Free parking, traffic isn’t so bad

Cons

Middle management is horrible, just inept and completely unable to do their jobs. The layoffs were illogical and completely stopped our team’s ability to deliver. We lost actual contributors and this is going to severely impact our customers. I feel we went from being competitive to being on track to run ourselves into the ground. Tech stack is about 7-10 years behind. Security is a major obstacle for every step of the dev workflow. You can’t even google simple code questions because most sites are blocked. Good luck figuring out things like regex using just your brain!

Pros

Remote job Good pay Decent Benefits

Cons

Overbearing, toxic management who don't really care about you as a person and your health, it's all about getting those numbers, I'm guessing that is how they receive their bonuses. People on the "team" who are not nurses makes you question why they needed some that were RN's. Unclear goal, unsure what it is that this position actually does for their members. Micromanagement.
