Pros

- Good pay and benefits - Great to work from home - Cool projects to work on - Lot's of growth opportunities - Good people

Cons

- Restructures written on the wall of every domain - Silicon Valley mentality (I realize some might want this but it's very difficult if you're not at the level of Californian engineers) - Culture of high stress. I'm not working late nights quite often in order to achieve deliverables. I am interested in growth but not at the hand of mental distress.

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.
