Pros

- Very smart engineers that know the codebase very well and been around for a long time - Everyone is friendly and willing to work with you. Haven't experienced any elitism like how you may experience with a bay area company - Benefits are great. Compensation could be a little better compared to other companies - Flexible working conditions - Easy to work on things that you want to work on. You are not pigeonholed unless you choose to be that way - Planview hasn't laid off any engineers (at least to my knowledge) since the economy and inflation took a toll on many other companies - Private company so you don't have to deal with the pressure of pleasing investors

Cons

- Really old codebase - Slowly trying to modernize the codebase but many engineers are stuck in old ways of doing things that are slowing the rate of modernization down - Lots of meetings that I feel are unnecessary and prevent me from getting work done - Need to talk to many different people to get things changed/approved

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.
