Pros

Good work life balance, with hybrid work arrangement. Can take PTO without any concerns.

Cons

Even if you have visibility among senior management and do your job perfectly, even above your level, you may not get promoted. Simply because there are already engineers who have worked longer in the same position. Time is not a good measure of work quality. The annual raise is low. Yearly bonus is terrible. Pay itself is lower than peers. This will be trade-off for good work life balance.

Pros

Great co-workers, some leaders with integrity from Al Kelly time, great benefits, 401k, what used to be great WLB.

Cons

-Incompetent CTO and leadership, specially at the Sr Dr/ VP level, moved from Msft in troves. -No focus on product/features delivery using AI, rather useless AI tools to track productivity (LOC and other laughable outdated metrics). -All Optics, no innovation, decades behind Fintechs like Stripe in innovation. -Extreme toxic culture and politics at leadership level.
