Pros

* Good WLB * Intelligent and caring coworkers * Interesting work

Cons

* Leadership is out of touch with the average employee and doesn't take feedback * Company preaches about its values but doesn't live by them * Culture was much better before and during the pandemic. Declined rapidly in the past year. I no longer feel that the culture is employee-centric * There has been a lot of back-peddling on previous decisions and some shady behavior around layoffs. You can't take what the company says at face value

Pros

I loved my co-workers. Everyone was super helpful and a lot of people were friendly. I enjoyed hanging out with them during lunch hour. People thought very highly of the management. I had a boss that really cared about me personally and was fair but kind. The company also valued personal development and gave time to learn new skills and build side projects for the company.

Cons

I did not find it meaningful to work on software that was helping big corporations.
