Pros

Competitive pay and benefits. Generally work with good, smart people.

Cons

This company used to be amazing to work for. Years of focusing on expenses and layoffs have led to bad morale. A hiring freeze after cutting teams down to fractions of their former sizes leads to heavy workloads and mistakes. No room for advancement. No job openings for movement or growth. Now a 3 day a week mandatory RTO with consequences for not complying, after all of the above, sends morale even lower. This has become a depressing place to work.

Pros

Solid benefits package, manageable workload. Can be a comfortable landing spot if you're able to tune out the outdated processes and legacy mindset.

Cons

The company undergoes frequent restructuring, and technical leadership often lacks the depth needed to guide modern engineering decisions. The culture can feel rooted in an older, more traditional mindset, and promising initiatives frequently get stuck in POC hell rather than reaching production. Career progression is also very manager-dependent; the wrong reporting relationship can significantly stall your growth. Overall technical bar is low — if you're trying to sharpen your skills, this environment may hold you back rather than push you forward.
