Interesting work, arrogant people

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting projects and teams to work on, definitely helped me technically as a software engineer. Good pay.

Cons

People were incredibly arrogant. Not many people willing to help, only interested in their own agendas. No upward mobility for career growth. Being a manager doesn’t provide any benefits besides more stress. Poor 401k match.
