Pros

Benefits are still relatively good even though they have been cut back. Decent transparency from management.

Cons

Pay structure is pretty rigid. You can be top tier for your level but they base salary off YoE and (reasonably) contract rates. If there was upward mobility, that would make up for it but there are no Software Engineering Managers to advocate for promotions. Unless there is a need for a more senior position on your contract, that promotion isn't coming anyway. Slightly more subject to volatility in election cycles due to leaning super hard into diversity (morally a positive IMO).

Pros

Some cool people work there.

Cons

Every project you're assigned to is a chaotic mess. Everything is disorganized and sloppy. I was fired approximately three weeks before the due date of my son. Wonderful timing, isn't it? They also made sure to give me a severance worth a whopping TWO WEEKS of work after I'd been a loyal hard working and innovative contributor for almost two years! Now my family and I face poverty and homelessness with a newborn child. For doing literally nothing but my job. Thanks Fearless!
