Pros

Great people for the most part. Only a couple of bad apples encountered out of 200+ workers. Pre-COVID had fun team outings and parties.

Cons

- Leadership consistently showed that business was doing well when that was not the case. - Pay is not competitive with other companies - Career growth, with the exception of a couple teams. Only 1 tester out of 50+ was able to jump to an engineering position. - Poor raises even with perfect reviews $1-$1.50/yr
