Remote work option, ongoing learning & development opportunities, friendly colleagues (although that may depend on what time you are on, but I've had a positive experience); decent benefits like mat-leave, 401k matching, health insurance, etc.

No annual bonuses; no cost of living adjustments each year which is wild because inflation is even more out of control

Advice to Management

Everyone should get COLA, it should not be based on merit. The value of our salary is in flux day-to-day and certainly year-to-year. People have had their rent increase by more than 20% through not fault of their own, and we are still getting paid as if the dollar value is consistent.
