A sinking ship ... work elsewhere

Lead software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- plenty of opportunities and learning - cloud focus to build marketable skills - decent internal tooling for most departments

Cons

- rapidly declining morale - declining fiscal outlook - lots of moving stuff to India - no pay raises since 2017. mediocre raises and bonuses otherwise. - most good engineers are interviewing or already out the door. You'll be here with largely B players. Some departments are still ok but it's hit or miss. - deteriorating benefits. If you have a family get ready for high copays or a huge bill
