Pros
- Initially, seemed like good room for potential growth and support - Pay scale seems comfortable or much higher for most people, annual increases were good - Solid potential to learn at scale, with real impact - Several interesting use cases that required deeper upskilling - Some good leaders
Cons
- Good, technical leaders getting replaced with "yes"-people - Growth only actually happens if helping with the "right" optics - Profit and "excellence" (aka burnout) seems to be the only way to climb - People department is definitely more of a check box and less of a support system; good people work there but aren't enabled very well at all, much less prioritized - Benefits aren't great, only one benefit is actually good and it's not even universal at the company - Decided US workforce is too expensive, offshoring is clearly the answer?? Even considering offshore positions, pay scale is suddenly pennies
