Pros

I was paid a living wage

Cons

Anyone who isn't an individual contributor - managers/team leads/ directors or any other made up title that doesn't do actual work. They are the WORST in the industry. They will constantly gas light you, lie to you, and stagnate your career. They only care about propping up their buddies with no concept of meritocracy. Leaving this company has added so much perspective to my life. Nobody deserves to put up with this.

Pros

So grossly mismanaged people will forget you still work there

Cons

You'll get 7-8 managers that refer to themselves as "leaders." Most of these self proclaimed intellectuals produce nothing of actual value and spend most days congratulating each other on how brave and diverse they are while sitting at home. This was even more pathetic when they were forcing junior employees to work on premise during covid.
