Pros

Pay is better for most of the remote companies. WLB is great.

Cons

Poor leadership with no vision. Management is not hands-on or technical, and decisions are made by these folks.

Sometimes it doesn't feel like working in a tech company due to poor prioritization and leadership. There are very few opportunities to grow. There are frequent re-orgs with poor decisions.

Advice to Management

Technical leadership is lacking for the data engineer org! I would focus on that.
