Pros

Met some really cool people and co-workers who I call my friends to this day. Good benefits.

Cons

Chaotic work environment Unclear objectives-Nobody really knows what's going on, ever. Extremely unstable This company does lay-offs all of the time, even if they tell you that your job is safe. My two good friends just were blind-sided by a lay-off after their job was promised to be safe for at least a year. I smelled the cool-aid from the beginning and got out and found a more secure and stable role after 5 months. Micromanagement (30 minute lunch breaks where you clock in and out)

Pros

Generally the people I work with are great. They are supportive, creative, and work well as a team. Work-life balance is good, although some teams have more on-call than others.

Cons

- Senior leadership has determined that inflation need not be a factor when calculating raises. - Also, we're having record profitability! But also money is very tight and we all need to tighten our belts. - Our stock is down 50% this year, but you all need to suck it up, even though stock is a huge part of pay. - We don't care that you are getting a 30% effective pay cut this year. - Performance ratings are calculated on vibes before reviews are actually written. - We've started outsourcing heavily to Mexico and India. - "We need to raise the bar" ("Please work harder for the same pay") - Health benefits have eroded for several years. - Other benefits have never been adjusted for inflation. - AI is becoming like a cult. We've actually been told that the dream is to never open a code editor again, despite the technology not being remotely ready for that (and with no proof that it is less expensive or saves time).
