Pros

- Good work and life balance - You get to work with a few great software engineers - Benefits are okay-ish

Cons

- Lack of growth opportunities as a software engineer - You have to put up with childish people making childish decisions based on their mood. I witnessed a staff engineer resisting to make a process change just because they don't like it. You don't really get to have an adult-to-adult conversation with some people. - Microagressions (lack psychological safety) - Poor communication across management, leadership, and teams. - Interview questions have not been updated in 5 years, which resulted in less effective hiring decisions. - Average annual pay increases are around 2%. - The engineering department culture tends to be clique-driven.
