Pros

Free lunch

Company-sponsored lunch leftovers.

Free Amex swag from time to time.

Cons

Toxic work culture, especially in Phoenix/Florida.

Product has no knowledge of the product, and you have to be in the good books to get promoted on the tech side and say yes to everything.

Staff engineers have no architecture knowledge.

Very poor competency.

Avoid here at all costs unless you are okay with not getting promoted and low pay.

Leaders are highly biased.

Advice to Management

Treat everyone fairly.
