Pros

Remote work, and that’s it.

Cons

Low pay, poor benefits, no accountability and never ending goals to hit. They give away your work to other teams and then send you home without pay once there is nothing left to process. Managers keep tacking more and more work onto you for no pay increase. Claim they pay you based on merit, but everyone gets 2-3% and they make you jump through hoops for it. Constantly told that your team is “like a family.” So many random meetings where they expect you to bond with people you will never work with a day in your career. Incompetent managers who will never question anything “leadership” tells them to do. You accrue PTO weekly and only see any kind of meaningful amount when you hit the 5 year mark. Can only roll over 80 hours per year, but upper management gives you the hardest time if you want any time off around the holidays.

Pros

Good pay Good teammates Remote-friendly with very few meetings.

Cons

Offshore engineers to Spain for less than 1/2 of the pay. No clear vision from leadership. Cycle through VP-level leaders every couple of months. Chaotic internal process: * HR doesn't know anything; the whole layoff and offshoring were handled poorly. What they said in the meeting does not match what they sent out in paper. * IT is managed poorly. There are a couple of times I wake up lost all my access. Lack of internal communication and documents. Some people still have access after they quit. * People have unnecessary access to FedRAMP prod. * They don't treat tenured employees well. The most experienced engineer in every team is usually a mid-level engineer.
