Pros

Great coworkers with a lot of passion for the job and who do consistently excellent work. The culture is very positive and the vibe is laid back while the work quality remains consistently high and the output rate consistently fast. No micromanaging, you are expected to do your own work and keep on top of your own responsibilities. Low-level leads and managers are generally very reasonable, pleasant people who offer good suggestions but let the experts drive from below. Job security is relatively high especially for tech. The culture is pro-diversity, with numerous women and people of color in positions of authority.

Cons

Senior leadership makes bad decisions based on their own emotions and preferences. The bigwigs want people in the office so they're making people come to the office, even though the majority of employees are against it and there's not enough parking. "It will work itself out." The bigwigs bought a big fancy lab full of gadgets that are fancy but not very useful and expect us to figure out how to make it make money. People at the top decide actually we're focusing on xyz for this quarter or want to save money by eliminating abc and everybody at the bottom is stuck picking up the slack. The company would run better if everybody above director level just did nothing. While the culture is overall liberal-leaning, people tend to roll their eyes openly about "political correctness."

Pros

Remote, great starting pay for entry level remote. Team environment was the best part of the experience.

Cons

Very limited to no advancement opportunities with pay increases that don't even match cost of living increases. No HR support and the culture reflects that... not a company that has any flexibility in the way employees are handled when they make a mistake it stacks and is not removes for a year. If you have three mistakes even if they are in totally different areas they will terminate even tenured employees with otherwise perfect records. Not a way to keep good employees.
