Pros

Good work/life balance, easy to walk away as soon as you hit 9 hours. Very easy coding tasks.

Cons

Extremely outdated software development procedures. No coding style. No programming standards. Horrifically bad (underfunded) IT. You'll spend most of your time fiddling with Word or Excel rather than coding or designing systems. You will get stale as a software engineer here. Atmosphere of secrecy makes employees distrustful of one another, hurts collaboration.

Pros

My pros are my manager and team coworkers. Outside of that not really a fan. I do well at what I do.

Cons

Honestly, ever since new management has come for the upper VPs and directors, a lot has shifted for the negative. Feels very micromanaging when we were told we were doing fine at home and there was no reason to have us come back in the office. Now suddenly we’re being forced back to the office. Other departments and I don’t really get along because there’s a bunch of petty people just trying to get others in trouble and all I’m doing is trying to do my job. Where I am at, everyone just talks all day and then complains about how much work they have.
