Pros

The company is very old and the UI might make Craigslist developers proud. Newer employees are trying to improve technologies and add better processes but are frequently hampered by people who have been working there for eternity. The compensation isn't that great but could be tolerable with the work life balance that could still be bad in some teams based on projects.

Cons

1. Managers need to take stern actions against gate-keeping employees. 2. Some of the engineers cannot even solve the very questions they asked during the interview process and need to improve their tech skills.

Pros

The team culture was incredible. Managers were very open and encouraging to explore new technologies and development processes. It was a very collaborative culture where engineers would often collaborate on solutions to complex problems which was especially nice given the displacement between all of the remote members of the team.

Cons

Outside of the team level, organization prioritization struggled. One day the stated priority might be one thing then the following day it would suddenly change. I would describe it as 'chasing a shiny object' instead of a thought out vision for what the project should be when it's complete.
