Pros

My co-workers and the technology

Cons

Senior engineering leadership from the Vice President up to the CTO Toxic environment, high pressure, seems to always be cutting and asking to significantly more with less and less resources Blaming the employees for poor performance when the processes and systems we were forced to work in are are broken and are the number 1 cause of failure

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
