Pros

Tremendous learning opportunities, every shiny new tool is available - great tech opportunity. Good for short term learning stints

Cons

Highly political, favoritism, horrible Sr VP hires and leadership. Your whole experience depends on the team you are in - and work culture is horrible. Hire fast and fire policy - more fires based on ego!

Pros

Good pay Good teammates Remote-friendly with very few meetings.

Cons

Offshore engineers to Spain for less than 1/2 of the pay. No clear vision from leadership. Cycle through VP-level leaders every couple of months. Chaotic internal process: * HR doesn't know anything; the whole layoff and offshoring were handled poorly. What they said in the meeting does not match what they sent out in paper. * IT is managed poorly. There are a couple of times I wake up lost all my access. Lack of internal communication and documents. Some people still have access after they quit. * People have unnecessary access to FedRAMP prod. * They don't treat tenured employees well. The most experienced engineer in every team is usually a mid-level engineer.
