Pros

Overall, it provided an opportunity to learn about new things and industries. The culture can be fun and energetic (very dependent on the office). Friendly co-workers.

Cons

Compensation was initially bad but improving. Expectation to work long hours for long periods of time, instead of hiring more people to better manage the workload. Then, when engineers work the long hours, it's simply 'part of the job' or 'required to meet project needs'. At times, felt like seniors were oblivious to what was happening in the office.

Pros

Lunch and learns are nice. And they do have clear career growth timelines.

Cons

They expect you to pay for daily parking which adds up fast. Not flexible WFH. Micromanagement and harsh. Lack of middle engineers because they all leave once they have experience yet leadership does nothing to retain.
