Pros

Competitive pay and opportunities to advance.

Management seeks feedback from employees and seeks to improve pay and conditions commensurate with the field.

Flexible work schedule (while remote).

Places a higher emphasis on demonstrated leadership, technical skill, and projects/deliverables than prior experience alone.

Strong internal transfer culture enables employees to move horizontally with minimal barriers.

Cons

Advancement criteria are rather opaque and seem fairly arbitrary. Companywide, not much effort has been made to establish a culture of remote work; rather, efforts have been focused on forcing employees back to the office. The operational burden can be extremely exhausting at times, as it is largely shouldered by developers directly.

Advice to Management

Take FC and driver concerns more seriously, as they affect everyone's perception of the company as a whole, including corporate employees.

Also, I personally find increased PTO more valuable than increased base pay, especially in this industry.
