Pros

-Unlimited PTO -Company pays for Salesforce Certifications -Recent salary "bonuses" have motivated me to become better at tech interviews and has given me the confidence to find employment elsewhere

Cons

-Low pay compensation -Ongoing brain drain makes it difficult to find anyone who has any knowledge about how older sensitive systems work -We're a tech company but... we don't seem to have that many employees with technical expertise or any kind of technical background... I've had developers ask me to rebase a branch for them because they didn't understand what that is... -Product quality has dipped a lot. It seems every time we try to have a discussion around why, management just finds a way to fudge the numbers so our stats looks good for another 3-4 months or so or until someone realizes we're just padding the stats and calls it out. -The people who genuinely cared about the product have either left, or stopped caring and volunteering at this point, we just got our bonuses this month and I know of two devs who started their applications and reaching out for referrals. The company just feels like a directionless zombie at this point that is coasting along from the great efforts of the original team.

Pros

They pay you. There are benefits. There is "unlimited" PTO.

Cons

Management seems focused on making the company look good on paper in the short term. They are constantly trying to force out new features on a short schedule, and also pinch pennies on employees. This results in products that employees have little or no confidence in, and high stress for the people doing the work. Management requires complete buy-in to SAFE from employees (including 3+ month advance PTO scheduling and PTO blackouts) but they demand additions to the PI almost as soon as the confidence vote has happened. When there is a budget shortfall they make up the difference with layoffs and offshoring, or by making benefits worse. Promotions outside of management are difficult to come by, and pay lags because of that. "Unlimited" PTO isn't actually unlimited. Benefits are bare minimum: 401k match is below average, insurance options are expensive for what you get
