Positive newer leadership, worrying trends

Sr director of software engineering

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A new direction in the past few years is genuinely trying to elevate employees. Much better focus than in the past should help them be more competitive in a space that is getting more crowded with fewer growth opportunites.

Cons

Multiple rounds of 1% or less layoffs is feeling a bit too regularly. Yet to be see if it is an unspoken plan, but appears to be very focused trimming of higher cost employees and transitioning work to offshore business where possible.

Good experience, but need to work harder to keep employees

Project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good exposure to a variety of projects, colleagues are usually very nice and supportive, total ownership of projects, the chance to make a project your own.

Cons

They will try to negotiate at lowest rate possible and will be near impossible to get a raise or a consideration of a raise, even if you're good at your job and exceeding expectations. Better chances of getting a salary revision quitting and then getting rehired. Massive salary gaps between people doing the same job.

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Everyone is fun to work around and they have a great work life balance

Cons

The pay is very bad. You can go anywhere else and receive 50% more than here. Seniors start at 80k or less while everywhere else on average is over 120k. They haven't hired a senior software engineer in over 3 years. They have only hired 1 software engineer in 2
