Pros
- The people at the bottom, those that actually contribute are good folks who care about their team members and want to deliver quality work. - Enjoyed working with people from a variety of cultures around the world.
Cons
- Pay starts out at a decent level, but raises are less than yearly inflation. - No matter how much you contribute some middle-manager will be leaning over your shoulder trying to push you to give more hours of your life away so they can get bigger bonuses from your work. - The executives (EXCO) are clueless hacks. Competent lower level managers with years of experience on given software platforms will give reasonable and informed estimates on work timelines, EXCO will overrule them and force arbitrary timelines that are not grounded in reality. This leads to a great deal of downstream problems and the people at the bottom are left to deal with the fallout. - RTO is being forced on employees. They did surveys where everyone thought WFH made their lives much better, They didn't like the survey results and are forcing RTO anyway for vague BS reasons. - They constantly send out "wellness" emails shifting the blame from their awful culture to the employees. - Soulless management/HR. I watched a co-worker who was struggling with mental health issues get fired by HR over an incident his supervisor caused even though he was working with a counselor, and actively trying to get better.
