Pros

Good work life balance, flexible hours, overall worked with nice people, and people were generally helpful and collaborative

Cons

Constant restructuring and reorganization which led to deprecation of projects I was working multiple times. Felt like nothing I worked on really mattered and in the last half of my time there, I felt very stagnated with little career growth.

Pros

Projects can be relevant, impactful and using new technologies. A lot to learn, quite diverse stacks, some new, some very old.

Cons

Work life balance and general morale and vibe is heavily dependent on the manager. If you get a manager you will have a bad experience.
