Pros

- Unlimited PTO - Average Pay - Semi-remote - Decent benefits

Cons

- Some projects have way too many engineers that cause overall slowdowns via blocking pull request or just not understanding what to do. - Poor architecture level decisions being made on some projects such as having a single table in a database store everything, and putting business rules and security on the frontend. - Many projects are handed to interns at the start of it. - Legacy projects are filled with hacky spaghettis code making it near impossible to maintain/update. - Usual nepotism and corporate politics that slow things down.

Pros

I highly value the autonomy I am given to manage my own workload, and I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with several of my talented colleagues.

Cons

That independence comes at a cost. The company is incredibly disorganized and siloed. Management will force lateral moves on you without asking; I've ended up balancing four different roles with absolutely no pay increase. Requests for fair compensation compared to the peers I trained were completely ignored. Territories change constantly, but zero training is provided. You are essentially left entirely on your own to figure it out.
