Pros

If you know the right people and have the right acronyms in your resume, the pay and treatment can be good.

Cons

The new (2 yrs.) management change has taken this company from a great place to work into a “what have you done for me lately” environment where you need to watch your back. Management tries to use Agile techniques, but often changes the requirements as results are delivered. The interaction between technology and business groups is strained, and attempt to fix are often impeded by new tech management (perhaps concerned about a lack of inclusion). Perhaps worst of all, the new management sentiment of showing legacy employees “what good looks like” has caused a slow and costly process of reviews that is not (small ‘a’) agile. A company that had annually exceeded its goals is still doing so with the new management, but the work environment has changed for the worse. One needs to ask executive leadership, “to what end?”

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.
