Pros

I genuinely enjoy working at CarMax. Outcomes are prioritized and the culture is outstanding. The unlimited PTO (for tech) policy is great and managers, in general, really take care of their people.

Cons

Some senior leadership (non-Tech) really doesn't have a clue. Changes are made to remove developer support positions and we're told that not having those roles will make us more efficient. 1+1=5, apparently. Product leadership is basically non-existent and is pushing away our best PMs.
