Pros

- Competitive tech salary - Wellness days and good amount of vacation means work-life balance was good for me

Cons

- The job title I received was not the one I applied to. The responsibilities started similar, but it only took about 6 months for those to change to a different role than the one I was sold during interviews. - I'm not sure any managers who knew what there employees were doing. People seemed to either be doing almost nothing, or be overworked to meet deadlines. - Aforementioned deadlines seemed to be set before we even knew what product we were making. It's the definition of deadline driven development. - Technical leadership openly insulted developer's work, after remaining unhelpful through most of the projects. They were reported to upper management by multiple people for this. The reporters ended up leaving the company or team and the leadership remained the same. - Overall, perks are nice but not worth the stressful environment.
