Pros

Cannot think of any thing.

Cons

They do not value their employees and do not treat them as a valued asset. Workplace is toxic and management does not back their employees. Work life balance if terrible and the second you experience personal problems they will cut you without warning or writeup.

Pros

What I signed on with was great, and I got shiny promises of bonuses I soon learned my managers would never sign off on

Cons

A lot of the people that helped me learn the codebase and social hierarchy have left since I joined. My raises haven't been above the cost of living increase. The safety net feels like a friend group of 40ish-year-olds trying to keep each other employeed
