Pros
  • Pay is good.
  • Healthcare is great.
  • Managers write promo docs and are judged for their ability at this.
  • Lots of culture around mechanisms, which in theory drive less emotional decision-making.
  • Adequate work-life balance.
Cons
  • Return to office policies
  • Layoffs, some silent, with no announcement
  • Some teams have terrible work-life balance
  • Culture encourages tech debt
Advice to Management

Eliminate processes that have an immeasurable impact and seek out poor employee experiences to improve end-customer products. Collapsing teams don’t deliver.
