Pros

They paid higher than scale, and had good benefits. (They pay more because people quit a lot and they can't keep the good ones.)

Cons

The new leadership on the tech side has changed the culture from that of fail fast fix fast, to "who is responsible" and a blame game. Engineers are now afraid to admit fault and end up pointing the finger. Middle management care more about how they look to their bosses than unblockong those they are leading. Gone are the days of "servant leadership" at Lowe's, Now management holds a whip and expects results that are unreasonable and chastise individuals publicly. There is a clear cast system being incorporated into the Lowe's culture too. People focus on impressing their bosses and deflecting blame, not doing their jobs. Many highly skilled engineers and architects on the tech side are quitting. New hires are leaving after less than six months. Employees who have been with the company for years are leaving hundreds of thousands in RSU just to walk away. That is a sign of poor corporate and VP-level management.

Pros

Remote, great starting pay for entry level remote. Team environment was the best part of the experience.

Cons

Very limited to no advancement opportunities with pay increases that don't even match cost of living increases. No HR support and the culture reflects that... not a company that has any flexibility in the way employees are handled when they make a mistake it stacks and is not removes for a year. If you have three mistakes even if they are in totally different areas they will terminate even tenured employees with otherwise perfect records. Not a way to keep good employees.
