Pros

A Perfect fit if you prefer any of the following: 1. Water Cooler conversation with random employees instead of getting actual work done. 2. Commuting to an office even though every person on your team lives in different States. 3. Manually entering pipeline details into Excel Spreadsheets every time you push code because the people mandating the release requirements forgot that automation exists. 4. Taking part in a Security reformation that unapologetically prevents you from doing your job on a weekly basis. 5. Being required to document your Individual Development Plan and career goals twice a year while simultaneously being told that Promotions aren't possible that year due to "funding". Sarcasm aside, this company is full of great and passionate people -most of which are equally frustrated with the way the company has been managed in the past 3 years.

Cons

1. Bureaucracy at every corner, that has literally been described by leadership as their attempt to "slow things down". 2. A severely needed, but equally frustrating onslaught of Security changes that make this place a Developer's Hell. 3. A weird push for "low-code" solutions that require annual licenses to niche products that barely anyone uses. It feels like people in Sales are deciding what developers use instead of Architects/Principal Engineers. 4. Unnecessary changes to and from different platforms that require us to migrate every year, with superfluous justifications.

Leadership Scheduling Work/life balance Stress Broken everything - half of the tools and resources don’t work No room to grow your career anymore unless you suck up. If you’re blunt and honest you’ll be an outcast - they’ve fostered an environment where they only want cheerleaders. Constantly changing goal posts Frequent restructuring
