Pros

- Good work life balance - 3 days in office

Cons

- Astonishingly bad leadership in the tech org. Leaders who have made bad decisions fail upwards and are promoted, leaving absolute chaos in their wake. The people leftover have to deal with the consequences and receive the blame. Absolutely zero accountability from leadership. - Engineering is being outsourced to India and Romania - Finger-pointing and blame is frequent and rewarded - Scope and goals change so frequently that it is difficult to get anything done

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
