Pros

Great WFH policy Tech stack relatively modern Good perks if you go into office

Cons

Trying to be a Silicon Valley company without the same pay Increasingly becoming very political 'Xero' room for creativity anymore. Hackathons are a bit of a joke, no time to implement because of deliverables.

Pros

Remote work is still an option, when many companies are going back to in person.

Cons

Leaders don't care about their employees. Managers are allowed to game the system for annual reviews to give their teams the raises and bonuses they want, regardless of actual staff performance. Everything must be AI, regardless of what customers want or need. Focus is on building shiny new toys instead of fixing core accounting system issues, and what's shiny changes every few months.
