Pros

The team of engineers have many years of experience which helped me learn a lot. The benefits are good (RSUs, good salary and bonus, 401k, healthcare, gym, subsidized cafeteria).

Cons

Bad management decisions, lack of transparency and compassion. Bad management decisions make engineering teams feel frustrated or demotivated, Lack of transparency and compassion as we don't feel that the management really care about employees. There is no flexibility to work from home even now with the pandemic. All employees are forced into inflexible shifts even those who can completely do their work remotely like FW, sales, and marketing teams. Even those who have young school-age children with the schools being shutdown.
