Pros: Flexible schedule/work-life balance. Some really good leaders and engineers are still at the company. They have been around forever and definitely value their work and the engineering community at Best Buy.

Cons: I used to love working at Best Buy. The morals of the CEO and the company seemed to align with mine, which is rare for such a large corporation. But things have changed recently, where all decisions are coming from the top down, with profits completely over employee wellness in almost all ways. We are also forced to interview candidates for India positions, where they are hiring like crazy, even though internal promotions have pretty much been at a standstill for 2 years now. Very frustrating and doesn't feel like top performers in the US are rewarded. There's nothing my direct leaders can do about it because it's impossible to get new US positions opened in the Digital and Technology org right now. The Ops teams have been drastically cut and many moved overseas, so it's also harder to get regular work done efficiently.

Pros: Nice team with flexible timing.

Cons: 3 days work from office

Pros: Good trending work and great learning opportunities. You get to work on product and create impact for millions of users.

Cons: Not flexible with WFH and doesn't care much about employee situations. Leaders lack empathy and leadership qualities to make team bonding strong or even connect with team members to check up on their work satisfaction. US team sync-ups cause a bit of long work hours in the evening. And again, with a strict work-from-office policy, we need to log in at 10 in the morning, making it around a 12-hour workday!
