Pros

Excellent People. Great place to learn patience. Can move up somewhat if you are willing to bleed your time. Room to work with relatively new tech. Level of freedoms are relatively high. Leniency on working from home and PTO time. Lots of potential in being a great engineering team.

Cons

Engineers are merely assets/resources to be managed. Engineers are constantly stuck in meetings. Not many seem to care enough to hold things to a higher standard. Too many comfortable folks in IT that have fallen behind the tech curve and act as an impedance to engineering agility. Lack of visibility in many decisions made.

Pros

There are a lot of talented, hardworking people at this company, which makes recent leadership decisions even more frustrating.

Cons

Communication around major organizational changes has been vague and inconsistent, leaving employees with significant uncertainty and little confidence in the direction of the business. Morale has declined considerably. Many employees feel that years of experience, performance, and institutional knowledge are being undervalued in favor of rigid policies and top-down decision making.
