Pros

Last 2 years, there have been no pros. Only one maybe - fully WFH Prior to that it was a really great place to work at. Oh and surprisingly HR was nice - smooth on and off boarding. I don't think they really care about the exit interview but still a smooth process. I'll give them 10/10 for that.

Cons

1. No clarity, No vision. I mean the company does have a vision to "Feed the world" but it's only on paper. 2. Build products which aren't really useful 3. Wayyyy tooo much micro management. like a lot. lot lot 4. Updating jira tickets >>>>>>> Actually delivering work 5. Constant org restructuring 6. Meeting meeting meeting, aluha meeting 7. Features are built to be scrapped 8. What promotions? 9. What Salary hike? is that even a thing? 10. They value contractors more than FTEs. 11. Required to attend late night releases 12. Agile team and scrum masters have been given a lot of authority. I think they confused what their role is. I'll put in the definition of a scum master here, hope one of them reads it and stops annoying the team; "A scrum master is a coach and a guide who ensures their team understands the scrum framework and its values and practices" 13. No career path. PS. I know all i have listed are cons but that is what the company has become. Talking about the past isn't going to help anyone.
