Pros

Good quality of life, competitive salaries, relative job stability, and they allow for a reasonable work life balance. The location is also an amazing place to live as well.

Cons

Very thick management layer, and most of them were never in the trenches so they tend to not know when an issue needs to be reacted to and when it's a minor thing. A great many bad decisions get made out of lack of technical knowledge and understand as they do not seem to trust their tech leads to properly advise them. The management layer holds all of the keys, and people on the team do not feel as though they are being heard.

Pros

Remote work, free games. Good co-workers.

Cons

Horrendous pay, expectations of work absolutely unreasonable. Turnover rate pretty high, and instead of hiring new employees, just had the remaining team take over the work that required like 10+ employees. Then after requiring 200% productivity to make up for the lack of a team, complained about teams.
