Pros

- Decent benefits, 8.5% 401k match, 20 days PTO w/option to buy 10 more - Great coworkers

Cons

- There's a saying "A players hire A players and B players hire C players". The tech leadership does not have any A players, at all. - 5 day RTO, no exceptions - Top talent has increasing been leaving, and no roles backfilled so already high workload is absorbed as we begin "wearing more hats" - If you've read this far and *aren't* looking for a tech job, the good news is that this disease is mostly isolated to tech in my experience. Many other departments have very good leadership.

Pros

Free beer and decent salary

Cons

They have completely expunged meritocracy from their culture and replaced it with DEI. Anyone who is reading this, I would highly encourage you to read Anson Frericks book “The Last Call for Bud Light.” From diversity dashboards to racist rhetoric, it is a toxic culture from top to bottom. Management pretends like they want feedback and then does nothing when they receive it. Stay away.
