Pros

The engineering peers are great and the work is really interesting.

Cons

Poor management. Most of the managers are engineers that just want to be individual contributors. They climbed the ranks by writing great code, not by managing people, and most of the time these 2 skillsets don't come together.

Executive level became so opaque. There is a constant feeling of mistrust towards them. Raise and promotion system feels unfair. There is no anonymity related to peer feedback and most of the time they're not even considered. The entire process is opaque. Poor pay and benefits compared to top tech companies. Outdated mentality related to remote working and hybrid working.

Advice to Management

You have great people in the company. Why did you stop doing Pulse surveys?

Start listening to what the employees have to say or you'll lose them.
