Pros

- Some coworkers are genuinely talented and supportive - You get an opportunity to learn how to deal with chaos. If you can survive here, you can survive anywhere.

Cons

- Insulting Compensation: Yearly raises were withheld entirely one year, and since then, increases have been negligible—3% if you're lucky. No recognition for increased workload or performance. - Disorganization: There’s no structure, no prioritization, and no accountability. Requests come from every direction, often through a dozen chaotic Teams group chats. Interruptions are constant, and leadership seems either unaware or uninterested in fixing it. - Leadership vacuum: Managers appear to have abdicated most responsibilities. There’s no guidance, no planning, and no effort to shield the team from the noise. It is very unclear what managers actually do because they do not actually perform the basic functions of their role. This seems to be a company-wide issue. - Scope creep: My workload has grown over 200% in six months, with no change in title, pay, or support. I barely have time to complete my core responsibilities, let alone the avalanche of new tasks dumped on me. - No advancement, no appreciation: Taking on more work only leads to more work. There’s no path forward, no career development, and no acknowledgment of the effort. The company is aware it has serious issues, evident by the emails I keep receiving about changes based on feedback. But my personal experience is that everything has been getting worse this year. Better communication doesn't mean "everyone talks to everyone." That just leads to constant interruptions and a lot of noise. Managers don't perform their main function of buffering workers from these interruptions and organizing and distributing new work. Workers not only have to do their own job, we have to keep up with a mountain of messages and emails throughout the day. It's common to be interrupted several times every hour throughout the day. This is devastating on productivity to a coder. Leadership is setting up the company to fail. Maybe they're just out of touch and don't understand that our work cannot progress just from meetings and messages.

Pros

Decent benefits and work/life balance. I'm hesitant to include work/life balance as a pro because you have to fight for it. They will drain every ounce of your time and life if you don't set your own limits. There is an overwhelming and always increasing amount of work with no commensurate increase in compensation. If you are desperate or just need a place to start, this company is okay, but I would highly suggest being ready to job hunt again in a few years.

Cons

Very low pay versus market, especially when compared to responsibilities and work load. Raises are either non-existent or close enough to zero to be offensive. From what I can tell, the organization is a mess structurally. There's no clear chain of command, and people/groups have overlapping responsibilities. The opinions of those people/groups drives changes within the company, and those opinions often conflict. People doing the actual work end up with repetitive tasks solely due to failure of leadership and management. There's a constant flood of new ideas (assuming coming from leadership) that cause current projects to be rushed to completion and all backlog of tasks to be pushed back. This is where some sort of proper leadership or management would be beneficial. Leadership and management is a huge weak point of the company. Combine an unfiltered flood of new tasks, often conflicting, with a lack of leadership, and the end result is a burned out, resentful workforce. The employees doing the actual work end up taking on the responsibility of the people who should be supporting and helping them develop professionally. Management seems to be struggling as well. So I do not really see them as the source of the issue. The problems appear to be systemic and cascading from the top. The company is filled with people who cannot adapt to new challenges and use existing tools to solve new problems they encounter in their everyday work. A large number of employees do not attempt to figure out their own solutions to problems. They make it someone else's problems. Inevitably, this means problems get passed top-down until it reaches someone willing to put in the effort to figure it.
