Pros

WFH, pay, and benefits such as fertility and life insurance.

Cons

Everything else. Bad culture created due to stack ranking, causing people to look out for themselves rather than what's best for the product, customers, or company.

Don't do RTB work, or else you will get punished at review time.

You are measured on PR count and comments.

Stack ranking means a cutthroat culture.

Your job is how do you market yourself at performance review time?

Advice to Management

Get rid of stack ranking or forced bell curves, however you want to market it.

Our company has degraded ever since APEX was introduced.
