Things are improving
Software Developer • Current Employee

Pros: The vibe has improved a lot versus a year or two ago. Staffing has cleaned up a lot, and there are fewer a-holes and egos in the office.
Cons: It’s a bit quiet in the office, which can be good in its own way but definitely different to how it was before.
