Pros

The salary was nice, and some of the people were cool.

Cons

The developers that have been there longer than ten years created a collective that only business will listen to. If you go against them even on proven technological things they will make moves to have you fired. Management set ridiculous rules around meetings and slack and don't take into consideration time/life balance. Hard to get work done when you are forced to attend multiple meetings that last all day. I was hired to do one job and I ended up doing five. Very negative, "do as you're told or you're fired" environment... would not recommend.

Pros

My key initiative was implementing a "Physical-to-Digital Continuum Layer" between legacy DVD workflows and the hyper-reactive Hoopla stack, and embedding scalable ideation frameworks directly into the organization’s analog-digital convergence trajectory. Pros: - Culture encourages high-velocity ideation and low-friction cross-team handshake protocols. - Endless opportunity to embed ideation scaffolds across analog value chains. - Coworkers who understand the importance of a well-labeled barcode. - All-Hands Meetings feature graphs AND vibes! - You get to attend meetings titled things like “Weekly Outcome Sync: Post-Linear Trajectories." - Performance reviews include phrases like "demonstrates high-output deliverable gravity" and "consistently radiates architecture-forward ideation.”

Cons

- Not enough whiteboard walls for conceptual diagramming. - Still waiting on a Slack emoji for "Strategic Alignment". - A few too many “stakeholder adjacents” claiming thought ownership of non-deployed ideations. - Internal Slack channels that might as well be titled #OnlyBrahminThings. - Entry level roles like “Junior PDF Renamer” and “Associate Checkbox Validator” are suddenly considered “critical talent shortages” that require visa sponsorship.
