Pros

- peers are friendly and nice people

Cons

- Software Engineering is under Product - Product runs the show. PMs command engineers on how to architect and build. PM will read tech articles, runs the sample "hello world" code then commands engineers to do it that way for fast delivery. - Toxicity of VP trickles down to engineering. This was reported by quitting engineers for years and CEO does nothing about it. - "Yes-man" engineers gets promoted by Product. - Product controls Engineering raises and bonuses. - Directors are all Yes-man. - Super high turnover rate - No career path.

Pros

A handful of talented good people.

Cons

The most beige, boring office you will ever see. No opportunities for growth. Many senior leaders with no vision, refuse to invest in tools, people or process. This place is going absolutely nowhere very fast. Incredibly short sighted management constantly making decisions based on quarterly earnings reports instead of the long term health of the company. Just a soul sucking place to be at times.
