Pros

Salary is very good.

Health benefits are amazing.

Many roles may be had as hybrid and/or remote.

Culture code sounds good on paper.

Cons

Manager musical chairs. Managers with a "do as I say, not as I do" attitude, where they expect individual contributors to adhere to a "culture code" but do not themselves. Constructive feedback comes as a surprise at review time, once a year. Rare positive feedback is given throughout the year. There is no growth path or ways to move laterally; you are stuck for years in a role unless the organization changes you to another role. People that have no business being managers are made managers, but people that express a desire to get there are ignored. Managers are terrible people managers because they are expected to do other things as well, and those other things are what give them "visibility".

Advice to Management

If you don't care about people, then get out of management.
