Pros

- most of coworkers are friendly and helpful - unlimited vacation days(but you've zero accrued if you were let go or leave) - centrally located with good public transportation - decent work-life balance - competitive compensation

Cons

- so-so benefits (unless you're single) - the engineering management team is a joke at best. The root problems are the VP's who care only for themselves. You need to watch your back. Every day. Your job is to please them or read their minds, and not the tasks at hand - some amount of nepotism - if you have a lousy manager and/or scrum master, you're toasted as the blame will land on you somehow - very poor communication among teams and certainly no clear directives from management until it's too late and then some poor soul would be the scapegoat.

Pros

My team of coworkers. Everything else that made me love my job and this company does not exist anymore.

Cons

Every perk, including my job was been taken from me (thanks AI. But, you said Penny wouldn’t take jobs, right?). Micromanage. No effort to know you as a person from management. The definition of “you are just a number.” The company cares way too much about profits and AI, and has completely lost sight of investing in their people. Current COO does not acknowledge stress behind job security with AI, when two departments have been dissolved in six months.
