Pros

Challenging work, great team, interesting technologies

Cons

What the company says publicly is very different from what they do with personnel. Raises are often less than inflation or nonexistent for longer term employees. There are yearly cullings (layoffs) whether there is lots of work or not. Anyone who is not in the top percentage is likely to be cut eventually. Older employees can become considered too expensive and let go, even if their work is good. I have seen this.

Pros

Pay is fair but you really have to put in the work.

Cons

Micro managed by people who do not know the job. Management are snakes and will sink their teeth into you. It is a poisonous environment where you do the work and management takes all credit. When your manager tells the group in a meeting that he could give each 10% raise but that none of us are worth that after coming off a Covid year which was dangerous and challenging and the company took 10% away from our pay and did not give out raises… they don’t see your with!
