Pros

No pros to talk about.

Cons

Severe disconnect between leadership and the engineering teams. Director-level management rewards corporate politics and favoritism over technical capability and hard work. There is a distinct lack of genuine technical knowledge at the top, covered up by buzzwords and empty talk. If you value a meritocracy where skill matters more than playing political games, look elsewhere.

Pros

Remote work option is nice to have

Cons

Zero support from management, with employee development and team concerns often taking a back seat to other priorities. Morale continues to go downhill, and several colleagues exploring opportunities elsewhere or leaving the organization already. The culture is challenging, particularly around providing candid feedback, as employees often are tracker down and face negative repercussions and retaliations. Career advancement depends more on aligning with leadership preferences than on merit and performance. Would not recommend this company to those seeking a supportive environment with transparent growth opportunities. Overall, the culture is political and difficult to navigate.
