Pros

Learned a lot in terms of various software tools to use and how to improve my SWE skills. I had a great manager that was also a mentor and helped me improve my skills a lot.

Cons

The culture at the company was really bad. No structured hierarchy on how to move up. Seems like the only way people got hired as directors was if they had internal connections, even if they had never had managerial experience before. HR also never held manager/directors accountable for their actions, even if there were multiple complains for the same person.

Business Outlook

Pros

CMI has meaningful goals with a lot of talented, intelligent people who want to help parents and children.

Cons

Management is awful. Most team meetings are run by one person who talks poorly about other team members (primarily their boss) the whole time. Zero efficiency or consideration of people's times. No organization. Projects take forever to get anywhere. Team morale doesn't exist. Everyone in charge is resistant to change and progress. There is zero emphasis on diversity... The work environment was dull and passive-aggressive, and it made what should have been meaningful work quite painful.
