Pros

At the team to director level people are great and not too corporate. Software engineering teams have good technical knowledge and PMs have realistic expectations. Great work life balance and solid pay for entry level

Cons

Cost cutting that decreases employee morale Unrealistic expectations for promotions Relatively confused hybrid/remote structure.
