Pros

High compensation is a plus

Cons

Manager doesn't care about you. They only care about the metrics and not your sanity.

Pros

Colleagues were nice in general.

Cons

- management treats you like a number. They give you all the talks about career growth and blah blah. But drag you to work under extreme pressure all the time. They track your every single while signaling the pretense of work life balance. - I guarantee you will regret joining this company within a month or so. I wasted my time in this abysmal company.

Pros

- flexibility being remote - decent PTO, health benefits

Cons

- overloaded with work. This is the most stressed out I've felt working in the industry in 5+ years. - sponsors are bullies and not enough resourcing to feel supported during tight timelines - all talk about being promoted, and never follows through. I guess the only way to be promoted is if you apply for a lateral position or different department. - internal groups not aligned on our own processes
