Pros

Great company. Good, relaxed atmosphere. Good work/life balance. Good vacation/sick time/holidays. New relaxed dress code (jeans are OK now)

Cons

Location (far from a big city). Also can be a lack of communication between separate areas of the company (a bit "siloed"). Still can have a bit of a "corporate" feel (this was my only job so take for what its worth)

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
