Pros

I like that I have full benefits and a consistent schedule. Having my own work laptop is also a nice perk and adds some convenience to the job.

Cons

The biggest issue is poor management. They don’t understand what the job entails and don’t seem to care when it’s explained. L4 hourlys didn’t get the same pay raise as T1-T3s, which feels unfair. The culture among management is terrible, and the job feels like a dead-end with no real opportunities for advancement. The pay is nowhere near what they expect from us, and there’s little to no support from management since they don’t know anything about programming. You’re pretty much left on your own.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
