Great work environment but policies constantly changing

Software developer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very good work environment, particularly in 2024 when I started. Free drinks, soda, seltzer etc. 4 dollar lunches on site. Amenities, particularly a gym with a basketball court and fitness lessons and activities.

Cons

Policies (for developers) were in constant flux starting about a year after I joined. Testing and code merging changed multiple times in the span of a year. Hybrid working options eventually removed.
