Pros

Collaborative Environment: Most colleagues are great to work with, creating a generally positive team dynamic. Diversity: The company boasts a diverse workforce, which enriches the workplace culture. Educational Support: Employees are encouraged to pursue continuing education, with reimbursement available upon approval from upper management. This is great for those looking to get certifications or continue education.

Cons

Benefits: The benefits package is average and could use improvement. Management Issues: My experience with a particular manager was extremely negative. This individual micromanaged excessively, monitored log-in/log-out times—even while on vacation—and expected immediate responses, often misinterpreting silence as lack of productivity. Toxic Leadership: The manager frequently spoke poorly about team members behind their backs and created a hostile environment. Positive feedback was nonexistent; only criticism was given. I would not refer any of my family or friends to this group because I would not want them to be under this toxic leadership. Probably the worst manager I've ever work with in the 15+ years I've been in the workforce. Lack of Trust in New Employees: Upper management tended to side with long-tenured employees over newcomers, even when evidence supported the latter. High Turnover: The team under this manager experienced frequent turnover, which now makes complete sense given the working conditions. HR Inaction: Despite clear signs of dysfunction, HR did not intervene. It’s unclear whether this is due to internal politics or lack of oversight. Layoff Concerns: The company underwent multiple rounds of layoffs, often contradicting prior assurances from leadership. This created a climate of uncertainty and distrust.

Pros

I'm a senior-level software engineer, previously worked at tech companies, and this job is relatively easy for me. No on-call, work-life balance is good. I usually get everything done within 2-week sprints.

Cons

GMF is the true definition of work hard, not smart. There are so many dumb engineers. There was a time I had to work with non-technical teams like prod support, and it was quite frustrating. They wanted my team to build an automation so they didn't have to work manually as if anything is possible and there is no limitation within the company. I didn't even create a backlog item as it was a waste of time.
