Pros

There are some amazing engineers at the company who are wonderful to work with and have some great lifetime experience to share.

Cons

Management is expecting us to start working 50 - 60 hours a week (uncompensated) for the next several years while they try to correct cheap engineering decisions they recently made. They play favorites to some cloud engineers and architects who don't have to help out when things break for days or weeks at a time. They are too cheap to hire additional people to help out as they transition to "DevOps" even though the change their mind quarterly as to what that actually means. Benefits get worse every year and there is no such thing as work life balance.

Pros

Paid Holidays, a good amount of sick pto and regular pto.

Cons

They have been doing a few rounds of layoffs and not hiring new staff. I feel more like a number than an actual person. They removed the incentive program and keep pushing for better numbers, but there is no drive to do so.
