Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

Low pay Toxic culture that favors tenure over competency Very low quality engineers. Many people who called themselves engineers had not written a line of code in 30 years and had zero experience shipping a product.

Pros

I've never met anyone incompetent in a technical role (though I may just be lucky)

Cons

Under the previous leadership, it's like the company got bought out by a VC firm -- lots of nickel-and-diming on fringe benefits, etc., but the new management is at least giving the right signaling that they know of the cultural issues.

Pros

Very flexible work schedule. Company culture is the best I've been at

Cons

If you get stuck in management, they have you doing mundane tasks that I question will further your career as a software engineer.
