If you want to be disrespected at every level, work here

Pros

Decent pay and benefits; allows remote work

Cons

Upper management is opaque, disingenuous, and disorganized. My team was "restructured" several times with little explanation, throwing everything into chaos, everyone waiting for someone else to take responsibility. More and more was demanded of me and my team with less and less recognition, and even less regard for bandwidth and burnout. Management is eager to take credit when things go well, and quick to point the finger when things don't. Responds to burnout by basically saying "suck it up." Individual contributors and middle managers slave away while upper management basically twiddles their thumbs. Execs talk a big game about "wellbeing" and "shared values" and "psychological safety" then do mass layoffs right before the holidays without any warning or explanation.

Stay away from infrastructure

Pros

I can't think of any

Cons

Managers in the infrastructure dept won't give up control, so there isnt much opportunity. Morale is really low for the employees who survived after 10% of the company was laid off in December. More and more contractors. The Ruby on Rails core is really old but theyve dressed it up with fancy cloud layers. I feel that most of the infrastructure managers including people promoted internally are technical and managerial failures. Whats left of the general company culture is nice, but its disappearing fast.

Stretched too thin, little recognition.

Pros

Remote work and health benefits.

Cons

My team was downsized right before we started work on our biggest project to date. My work to step up and ensure our project was still completed on time has been largely unrecognized.
