Pros

As a software engineer you are given an opportunity to work across many different technologies. You don't have to be pigeonholed into a specific area and are encouraged to try working in new technologies. The tasks are sizeable since there is still a good amount of foundational work in my area. Although there are maintenance tasks to handle, they don't seem to be needed as much as I have experienced at other companies. Collaboration is highly encouraged, and younger and older engineers seem to blend seamlessly. They have a rotational program for new college grads which is outstanding. Gartner has the best vacation policy that I have been given. The work is challenging, and management is very understanding when mistakes occur. Management is also supportive and will listen to your concerns.

Cons

Sometimes the Agile process is not fully trusted and/or completely utilized. Concepts like Kanban boards should probably be considered. Technical enhancements and Product enhancements need to be considered in unison instead of separate threads. Greater trust in engineers to perform tasks like deployments without so much red tape.

Pros

Totally remote and the hours that you work can be flexible. The other designers are very friendly and willing to help you out when solving problems. The company provides you with equipment to work with. They also forbid the use of AI in their presentations with is extremely respectable.

Cons

You are paid based on billable hours. Management is strict about how much time you spend on each project, but you also have to make sure to meet a quota of billable hours each week. It can be hard to find a balance and the time counting down while working is stressful.
