Pros

Some genuinely decent people in the team trying to make the best of a difficult environment. Salary and benefits are standard for the industry.

Cons

The culture varies wildly depending on your manager – unfortunately, certain individuals in leadership foster a micromanagement-heavy environment that borders on controlling. Constructive feedback is often replaced with sarcasm and dismissiveness, creating a fear-based vibe rather than one of support and development. Mistakes are treated like character flaws, not learning opportunities. “Wellbeing” is used more as a buzzword than something actually respected. A lot of performative support, but when you actually need space, trust, or autonomy… it disappears.

fully remote, still plenty of smart engineers knocking around. For remote work, the salary is competitive

Cons

late night calls with AU/NZ. Culture is shifting in the wrong direction. No good bonus incentive
