Largely depends on team

Pros

* Good healthcare and free lunch 4 days a week. * Some teams are well run and make an effort to keep up with the latest tech. * Engineering management is typically loaded with engineers

Cons

* Pay is good for new grads, but raises wont keep up. * Retirement plan is sub-par for the industry. * Career progression for engineering is non existent. * Feature factory type mentality. * Middle management is typically incompetent and is very clique-y * Little responsibility and trust is given to individual contributors. * Upper management tries to encourage innovation, but middle management is not interest in hearing bottom up ideas, and is more focused on maintaining control, so no innovation happens * Major outsourcing push and upper management wonders why moral is low.

Bad Manager

Pros

Loved the 1 month in CT with training and they gave me a very flexible start date. Work life balance is good. I actually loved most of my other coworkers, just hated my boss. I really respected the hiring manager who decided to hire me, but unfortunately I did not end up on that team.

Cons

Outdated technology. Legacy code. I had a terrible Manager, who harassed me and others. I tried to talk to HR and switch teams, but this happened enough times they were worried about legal repercussions, so they found a way to make it miserable enough for me (and others) to leave.

Pros

Work/Life balance. Most of the people at the organization are nice people.

Cons

Pay is below market rate The tech stack is arcane and hence not too many options to learn new things Upper management is out of touch with tech and the products offered Lots of cost cutting, no career progression and nothing cutting edge is happening here
