Pros

Excellent People. Great place to learn patience. Can move up somewhat if you are willing to bleed your time. Room to work with relatively new tech. Level of freedoms are relatively high. Leniency on working from home and PTO time. Lots of potential in being a great engineering team.

Cons

Engineers are merely assets/resources to be managed. Engineers are constantly stuck in meetings. Not many seem to care enough to hold things to a higher standard. Too many comfortable folks in IT that have fallen behind the tech curve and act as an impedance to engineering agility. Lack of visibility in many decisions made.

Pros

Good time-off package. Holiday week off for office employees. Historically respected work-life balance and flexible working. Good employee discount and maternity leave.

Cons

C-suite pushing a mandatory 3 days in-office after 5+ years of boasting flexibility as a cornerstone of their employee benefits package. Lack of clear and thoughtful communication of this new policy was frustrating and disheartening as an employee. Leadership, starting with the CEO, is at an all-time low of the last 6 years of working in their corporate office. Horrifying to see how poorly initiatives are getting rolled out, likely getting pushed down from board of directors. Would anticipate a rough transition into the company if you choose to take a role replacing the dozens of employees possibly being forced to leave the company due to RTO.
