Pros

Some great people work here for some reason. I worked alongside some very talented developers, product owners, and architects. It’s easy to keep a good work life balance, I never worked above 40 hours in a week ever.

Cons

Management could not be more clueless, flailing around aimlessly like a rudderless ship. Trying a new strategy every four months, no surprise that nothing works out when you never give anything time to cook. Constant reshuffles of teams and priorities, everything constantly felt like we were just lines on a spreadsheet being played with until it looked good, with no thought given to the real world human beings that those lines represented. The most recent round of layoffs were done in the most unprofessional haphazard way I have ever seen in my entire career, leaving the whole company hanging for two weeks waiting for news. Career progression is utterly meaningless, I received multiple promotions that meant absolutely nothing, no raise or anything. Compensation is subpar for the industry, unless you are in the C-suite of course.
