Pros: Schedule freedom, friendly, high-level thinking.

Cons: There are no cons here.

Pros: 1. Hybrid style, mostly work from home unless an occasional in-person meeting is needed in the office a few times per month, depending on your team. 2. Work-life balance.

Cons: 1. Your career growth opportunity largely depends on the product you are working on. If it is a product in maintenance mode, you can only expect progression based on someone else moving on. 2. The managers largely "care" for their pets who are likely to become the next managers after they get promoted to senior managers. The moment you join a team, you already know this. This is not just in one or two teams; it happens to all teams that I have joined. 3. There is no incentive or motivation for the rest of the team to strive, and the fate is sealed. 4. There will be quarterly "glint" surveys where you can provide feedback on management. At the end, managers will get the team to brainstorm solutions that the team (not managers) can resolve. Themes like career growth always rank the top, but management can do nothing.

Pros: Some of the software engineers were very talented, and I learned a lot from them. That's about it.

Cons: Management is god-awful across every level. Upper management is forcing their hand into the development teams with no competence whatsoever in software development. You can imagine how that's working out for them. They also claim to care about their employees, but they don't. HR is a quaint little figurehead that doesn't actually help or support anyone. The pay is pretty poor comparatively, and the benefits are not good. Also expect to work excessive hours that you won't be compensated for in any way. The company is in steady decline: they can't find a CEO, they can't find anyone to hire because they treat their employees like expendable garbage, and they are terrible with their customers. They have an employee referral program, yet myself and every one of my co-workers that ever made a recommendation never heard anything from the company. Marketing and sales are the WORST at that. If you're a self-respecting software engineer, don't work for this company.
