Toxic culture

Pros

Benefits are good (vacation, paternity leave, gym…). Smart people working there.

Cons

Toxic culture, senior people taking advantage of juniors. Everybody knows and nobody does anything about it. A lot of politics. Monotonous job. Salaries should be more competitive.

Pros

Some organizations are ok, good benefits

Cons

Some organizations are extremely political, older people bully newer employees to force them to accept their methods, they throw stone and constantly put emotional pressure on more technically advanced folks with newer ideas. Too many damn meetings, and no structure on the right path. Forcing RTO on technical IT people that don't need to meet in person.

Pros

There are some nice people here that is too easy to work with them

Cons

Too many meetings, unnecessary, just because few toxic people want to be involved in everything Too much politics to deal with, it depends on organization of course, but I see most calendars are filled to 90%,there is no way to get work done during working hours for individual contributors and results in burnt out
