Pros

- Layoffs are rare - Benefits are good - Remote work possible

Cons

- Pay is low - Management lacks professionalism, too much focus on their personal goals and little focus on shared goals - Tech stack is behind and corporate policies make it very difficult to keep it up to date - Very little application of software architecture knowledge. You're more likely to see an archaic approach suited to the manager's comfort than a more modern approach suited to the application requirements - rampant nepotism in hiring and promotion. There is no objective clear path for career advancement

Pros

- Mission - Work life balance - Pay - Modernization of the workplace

Cons

- Every year benefits are reduced with terrible and tone deaf justifications. - Added benefits tend only to benefit new employees. - Perception that the company does not value long term employees (suspension of defined benefit program) - Poor ESPP discount - Lack of transparency on how AEIP bonus is calculated - Workflow tools are still extremely cumbersome after years of promises to fix them - Lack of enforcement of hybrid work policy. Many people never come in and are never spoken to about it.
