Pros

When I joined, our team had a great culture - healthy work life balance, work from home when needed, reasonable deadlines. My manager was wonderful, and I likely wouldn't have stayed at the company long if I had a worse one. Solid compensation compared to many software jobs out there.

Cons

Upper level leadership is setting unrealistic expectations and forcing people back (or, often, for the first time) into offices filled with distractions and taking away much flexibility.
