Pros

- remote work - no micromanaging (depends on manager/team) - flexible work life balance - good benefits (healthcare, gym - onepass)

Cons

- Pay is low for YOE - Low yearly salary increase for loyal employees - Restriction by new CFO on promotions, even if they are deserved and employee performance/manager feedback is showing they should be promoted, leads to low motivation to go above and beyond current job role

Pros

- Real client-facing technical work in regulated/FedRAMP environments; good exposure if compliance-heavy cloud is your lane. - Internal mobility exists on paper; managers may encourage internal candidates for promotions. - New management clearly understands their assignment and is saying the right things and taking initial steps that appear to be moving us towards a strong path forward.

Cons

- Promotion paths can be unstable; roles may get restructured mid-process, which makes career planning hard. - Management quality is uneven; promotion into management isn't always tied to demonstrated leadership, technical capability, or appropriate vision. - Limited structured professional development. - Compensation progression can be a friction point, including for internal moves. - Bonus payouts have come in far below target even for top performers, which has been rough.
