Pros

Flexible work schedule, good work/life balance, not too much overtime, diversity, decent amenities.

Cons

Context shifting is frequent, you don't work on one thing for too long. Layoffs are becoming VERY frequent as the new CTO has come in.

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.
