Pros

- Great coworkers - Relaxed environment - Extremely transparent leadership - Handled the transition to remote working very well

Cons

- On call: engineers are not compensated for their on call responsibilities. Comp time used to be given, but became irrelevant with the introduction of "unlimited" time off. For my particular team, we get called pretty often. - Pay could be better. I felt underpaid until I was promoted with a raise (I joined as an entry level engineer). - Development moves slowly due to a painful release strategy and loads of tech debt

Pros

Free Lunch on Wednesdays Solid Benefits Good pay for new hires

Cons

The flexible work week doesn't actually exist. It's an excuse to require some employees to work more than the 40 hour work week. Chicago employees are required to go into the office at least 2 days a week, even if rest of the team is remote. My specific team is without clear direction or leadership. Performative corporate jargon is rewarded over meaningful contributions. Existing employees are paid significantly less than new hires. At least on my team, there have been differences of $20 to $30K in annual salary for the same level.
