Pros

-Great benefits (4.5% 401k match, 16% bonus, 4 weeks vacation after a year at company) (Health/dental are 'ok') -Co-workers are friendly -Work can be interesting -Recently added espresso machines and arcade games in breakrooms

Cons

-High growth has put process out the window -Other teams are getting harder and harder to work with -Culture is changing for the worse due to increasing work demands -CIO Patrick Rayball is a ghost who you never hear from, SVPs do most of the work for him -Tons of middle management, Managers, AVPs, etc. -Growth is flat lining -- upper management projected 2 billion by 2018 last year, but revenue has stayed stagnant -Compensation is below average for IT because location is in Arlington

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.
