Pros

I had a much longer version of this but I decided to cut it down to bullet points. - Good work-life balance - People were agreeable (at least on my team)

Cons

- Low pay (~15% lower than industry average by my estimation) - Non-technical managers who don't understand employee value (not all managers, there are some good ones) - No opportunity to advance - Company obsessed with hiring "superstars" to its own detriment - Little to no onboarding process - No motivation to succeed, doing work well/quick simply results in more work and nothing else - Little allowance for employees trying to contribute in a way not expressly approved by management - Constant direction-switching, marketing seems to dictate what development does, and they are the last to hear about any priority changes - Obsession with profits over all else as of late, being a "billion dollar company" is more important than anything to the C-level execs - Culture rapidly deteriorating in favor of faux-IBM corporatism. This is a sticking point for many.
