Pros

learn new technologies fast, AWS training/certification, opportunities to lead

Cons

does not plan work well, unrealistic deadlines, no work-life balance, jr engineers are doing senior level work without compensation/recognition, treats contractors unfairly, does not hesitate to fire people after they worked so hard to meet their unrealistic deadlines, leadership claims "servant leadership," but there's no such thing, leaders do not recognize those who elevated them & they run with the glory, do not want you to log overtime pay, but want you to do the work, hesitate to approve PTO/RTO, interrupt PTO/RTO for work emergencies, Saturday releases, QA department does not have good opportunities to progress your career

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.
