Pros
- Passionate engineers - Free lunch - unlimited PTO - Neat good quality hardware. - Stock is doing well - Pretends they care about employees. - Decently diverse.
Cons
- Pay is trash. - CEO doesn't believe in remote work and has no idea what engineers are doing, just a mouthpiece for Frank. - Did I mention no remote work? Unless you want to be seen as lazy of course. - Spineless middle management. They'll die before they fight for a raise or a promotion for their underlings. - Good engineers quitting in droves. Those that stay either can't leave or suck and can't find better jobs. - No direction from upper management, or maybe they don't care who knows. - HR constantly lies to you. Just one of those big companies that spew Business Words in all their internal e-mails all the way up until you get fired. - No growth opportunities, but they'll pretend like there is and you can do all the work and grow into senior and staff level positions since everyone quit. No salary bump of course. - Trash tech infrastructure. Their solution is to outsource so they can pay people less, but you get what you pay for. - You get pinged all the time for something breaking, because there's nobody left to fix stuff.
