Pros

Your immediate peers are smart and hard working. The problems are interesting and there is opportunity to grow in your career for junior hires.

Cons

Too many processes, politics and top down directives. The roadmap changes weekly with unrealistic deadlines for a product that requires a lot of overhead to change. The RTO mandate is being rolled out with no care or trust for employees and it is killing the culture.

Pros

I loved my co-workers. Everyone was super helpful and a lot of people were friendly. I enjoyed hanging out with them during lunch hour. People thought very highly of the management. I had a boss that really cared about me personally and was fair but kind. The company also valued personal development and gave time to learn new skills and build side projects for the company.

Cons

I did not find it meaningful to work on software that was helping big corporations.
