Pros

-Work life balance in the off season -Chill vibe -Entrusts even younger engineers with work that can wreck the product so you can make a big impact right away

Cons

-Copies what other big companies do without thinking whether it is actually suitable for the team, the only explanation given is "[big company] does it and we want to be a big company" -Lack of engineering expertise in general but front end in particular, they do not access talent accurately so even as a fresh grad it's difficult to find someone more skilled than you to learn from -Claims to be like a start up but a ton of bureaucracy keeps you moving at a snail's pace, intense culture of fear of messing up to the point of needing a week to get a simple bugfix out the door -Zero effort given to cultivate employees' technical expertise, all management cares about is delivering business objectives

Pros

Benefits are amazing, medical insurance, vision and dental. Company match on 401K and volunteer time off.

Cons

They keep making decisions to outsource jobs to contract workers who don't share the same value in training or customer care. Oh they say they do but when you catch the listening to music so loud you can't hear the customer, or literally snoring on the line they can't do anything because of the way the contracts are set up. It is up to the contract company and the contract company just needs warm bodies. They did not even supply enough people doing our busiest season this year to co or the shifts that were required in the contract. So good luck with that. They will always eventually lay you off.
