Pros

Modern technology adoption. HR does a good job of hiring smart and talented coworkers, but they're quitting at an increasing rate. High levels of "brain drain". Benefits are good, 8% 401k match

Cons

The leaders in North America, especially in Tech, are an out of touch on-size-fits-all dictatorship. The entire department spends at minimum 30% of the time in meetings, "rituals" and "leap week" including jr. engineers stifling progress. Earlier this year they imposed RTO and wish for full 5 day office. Raising concerns that the remaining top talent will increasingly depart - most cite these reasons - are met with indifference.

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.
