Pros

1) good home/work balance 2) Compensation for legacy skills are fair. 3) Management gave clear expectations

Cons

1) Legacy Customer Facing Product. Not much green field left. 2) Tooling and infrastructure needs to be modernized a bit. 3) Private equity management and pushing remote employees out via layoffs is common place. 4) Fellow employee was transitioning from H1B to Greencard. Process stalled for over a year. Nobody in technical management could get an answer from the HR side.

Pros

fairly lax with lots of time to do things

Cons

many. Former CEO ran things poorly and took in managers who brought along their problems and animosities with them. Not only that, they were allowed to invite their friends to come and join too, many of them owing their jobs to someone creating a bro culture. Even though top mgmt changed since the sale, its many of these people still there to this day. Most of the systems were a black box, existing engineers were mostly uncooperative to keep their knowledge to themselves, the offshore engineers in one particular country were especially bad for this. I have seen major accomplishments achieved by someone, where so many others had failed, only to get fired soon after.
