Challenging work, poor company culture.

Pros

Good co-workers, challenging work, fair pay.

Cons

Company culture is weak- lack of accountability, many silos, relatively low morale. Hard working employees are taken advantage of, especially ones who are newer to the company. Many teams are very reactive due to resourcing issues. Very few training opportunities.

Pros

Bonds you form with colleagues going through hell together

Cons

Management is clueless. Reorganization resulting in constant churn of work for the sake of satisfying new management whims. Lots of useless work and politics. Horrible managers who don’t care about employees
