Pros

- Mostly friendly people - Interesting projects to work on - No shortage of work - Pay is decent though not top notch

Cons

- Management doesn't take work/life balance seriously. You need to manage that yourself. They probably won't bother you if you set boundaries, but they won't encourage it either - Engineering process and culture is not great. Don't really follow agile practices. I don't think leadership is even very familiar with Agile. - Lots of tech debt and no defined process to work it down - Managers are spread across multiple teams and don't have time to really focus on what's good for a particular team. - Lots of hierarchy. Needs to become a flatter company to move more quickly.

Pros

Not much that I can think of, would say its decent pay but they move the goal posts on goals every year so once you get comfortable with your goals and achieving your target to them hitting the reset button and back to square one

Cons

The culture has shifted in a very negative direction. Top performers can still feel boxed in by limited growth opportunities, changing expectations, and compensation structures that do not always reflect actual performance. There is a heavy focus on control, office attendance, and short-term metrics, while trust and morale continue to decline. It can feel political, exhausting, and disconnected from the people actually driving results. Very toxic for capacity reps, they do everything wrong and contstantly are the whipping posts for commercial teams who are always in the right
