Pros

Has good benefits. The majority of the managers I worked with were really nice and open-minded. There is also an emphasis on taking care of your mental health. There are also lots of side projects and causes you can support.

Cons

The manager's style varies from project to project, and there is a lot of politics in play that has prevented me from doing my best work. Also, there is bad people management. There are lots of instances where CS graduates were forced into a Concierge boot camp, and Med or non-IT graduates were forced into software dev boot camps.

It isn't too bad, but it's a pretty slow climb up career levels.

Advice to Management

I think management just does not know what's happening at the low level. It feels like there should be more transparency and management across all teams. For example, I had to endure full-stack programming on an 8GB of RAM laptop. I asked if I could get 16GB, since that is standard, but they rejected my ask.
