Pros

There used to be a lot but not anymore

Cons

Company used to preach a work life balance and employee engagement, but that has been eliminated. The department is now run like a dictatorship. The micro management is completely overwhelming!!!!! If you don't respond to an email within 30 seconds your phone and internal communication tool will start ringing. The amount of stress thrust on staff due to inadequate personnel is also mind boggling. More recently older staff were 'laid off " while younger staff were relocated to a new corporate office on the East Coast. You are expected to do the job of 3 people and not complain. If you speak up you will be fired. No wonder a majority of staff is actively seeking new employment.

Pros

Great pay and getting OT pay. Awesome team of SMs and RTEs who felt like family and we all wanted to see each other succeed. I was exposed so a lot of situations which strengthened my skill set. Learned the SAFe model and it looks great on resumes. I personally had a great boss, bosses boss, and RTEs.

Cons

Executive leadership is ruining the culture. Many of the amazing Directors, AVPs and RTEs left due to the poor Executive leadership who do NOT know a single thing about Agile principles. Releases are 1x/mo so you have to work one Saturday a month which can sometimes be longer than a normal workday. Release Mgmt team is very difficult to work with and can be very disrespectful. They don’t hide it and it’s accepted. Execs killed remote work.
