Pros

Good pay, benefits, and 40 days of PTO etc.

Cons

While there are still some things that I do really like about this company. In my short tenure I've experienced some very strong business political bias. We had a new manager and multiple developers replace half our team from another big name corporation to work on a new product. The new manager gave all the developers that came with him good ratings and all the existing developers bad ratings, even though we were clearly the more productive side and onboarding everyone. Talk about a way to build employee resentment. We are also facing hybrid mandates in March and Full-Time mandates in 2025. This is going to crush our company. Many senior-developers and key figures moved away because we were told multiple times we would remain fully remote. I guess this is just a way for them to layoff all the over-hiring they did during COVID without having to pay severance. In addition to this for some reason the company thought it would be a great idea to completely restructure right before starting development for a product. So, everyone is trying to understand their new team functions, while also understanding a completely new idea for our biggest product. It is a mess and we are 6 months late and due to a big slack pickup from contractors there is a lot of broken code and lost knowledge.

Pros

Pto. Benefits are good and that’s about it.

Cons

Ridiculous rto where the company values fake value rather than real value. If you have no teammates in the office you are closest to, you still have to go in for “collaboration” for no reason other than because leaders said so. I hope they like less productive employees because that is what they are getting.
