Pros
You’ll work with some very smart people and sometimes your work will be meaningful. You’ll meet some very nice people.
Cons
Upper management is making the year feel like 1984. Spouting coding principles as hills to die on. “Once decided, support” should not apply to BLM or covid response emails. Also they tell us to withhold info about our tenure from our customers in order to build trust. Working 45+ hours is considered fairly normal and won’t make you stand out as a high performer. Your primary job is to support your customers but as long as they aren’t complaining, you’re judged more on your internal work. A lot of your favorite coworkers will leave within 2 years. You’ll work hard and be praised during a pandemic response and then be told you’re lucky to have a job and raises will be small. Oh but by the way we have the money to convert large single offices into two small offices so you can come back into work even if you don’t feel safe.
