Pros

Colleagues and Management try to create a good work environment. Mature and Professional behavior. Accommodating to flexible hours and transparent pay bands. There are lots of office events including pizza parties, networking opportunities, and semi-annual team building activities. There are too many things going on to keep track but there are quarterly updates which help contextualize developments.

Cons

Teams working on growth initiatives are burning the midnight oil. WLB isn't good and projects/tasks are done in bi-weekly sprints so there isn't much of any downtime/recovery. Management and seniors are often working around the clock, including late night meetings and messaging at 3:00AM. Upper management is not supportive of WFH either, with RTO mandates disrupting many people's lives. However, other teams and orgs have much better schedules. YMMV.

Pros

Great design team. Learn a lot in the project. Great resources for self motivated technical improvement.

Cons

Big wave of talented engineers leaving in some critical departments. CEO lacks responsibility on the company development. CEO and CFO have been selling their stocks a lot every year.
