Pros

Still makes some effort at work life balance. Now recognizes that remote work is possible.

Cons

Benefits are fading and pay now lags far behind any legit competition. New policies are resulting in systemic ageism, whether intended or not. Pretends that it does Agile and CI/CD, but actually just pays lip service to the ideas. (No, that doesn't mean we do "waterfall", it means we muddle along with little useful guidance from mgmt.) Staffing in QA has dropped precipitously due to the latest wave of early retirement offers, and the products are suffering.

Pros

Benefits: health coverage, on-site gym, childcare, healthcare center, and more. Work-life balance: predictable hours, flexibility for parents and a culture that doesn't expect you to grind 60-hour weeks.

Cons

Compensation lags the market, slow career advancement and promotions can take years. Change-resistant culture and new ideas move slowly. Leadership team manages up to just one person.
