Pros

I enjoyed working with other developers

Cons

No promised "annual bonus" that's always listed in LinkedIn job postings. No cost of living raise. Negative feedback is continuous and public. Managers contradict tech leads. Mangers would rather close bug as "won't fix" even when developers have a fix ready to commit.

Pros

I love my co workers and the ability to make my customers happy. Benefits are alright and I do like the products.

Cons

Modern marketing is non existent and the company has been taken over by sweater vest tech bros who feel phony at best. This company is too large to innovate or be nimble, yet too small to acquire new things to sell. Salaries are just so low now that I might need to leave, then come back just to get a pay raise. I’m seeing similar jobs posted for 20% more base than I make 10 years in. No transparency on advancements and annual raises do not reflect effort and making too close to plan on sales just sets you up for failure in the next year. I’d say use this company for a few years then move on.
