      Pros

      Not too much workload. Tasks are given enough time to be completed. Incentive to do the right technical solution (not a lot of pressure on deadlines). Almost NO meetings, around 1 weekly status meeting update. Company does a lot of things to try to keep people happy (free gym, free yoga, free massages), nicely decorated workspace. Lots of foods and drinks in the office.

      Cons

      - Hierarchy with a lot of levels (managers with only 3 or 4 people under them). - Very individual work and tasks, sometimes lack team spirit. Pros/Cons depending on your preference: - Indivdual tasks with not so much interaction with others. - No SCRUM, all tasks are assigned to 1 person. - No SCRUM meetings. (No Daily, no retrospectives, etc..).

      Pros

      Great benefits: Healthcare had great coverage and affordable monthly payments. I also really appreciated the work-from-wherever policy as well as all the office snacks. Fantastic people: I genuinely loved the people I worked with—they made me feel like I belonged and was appreciated. My manager worked to build me up, something that can't be said for a lot of places. Travel perks: The ability to travel for work made this experience incredibly rewarding.

      Cons

      Slow mobility: Trying to get promoted felt like a moving goalpost—the expectations changed every six months and made it nearly impossible to get to the next step. Even then, the business was stingy about who gets promoted, which was incredibly discouraging after years of trying to prove myself.
