Pros

Good lunch, good pay, good work-life balance.

Cons

The technology stack is highly outdated, and the engineering level is very low. Highly unqualified people were promoted during the hyper-growth period, making crazy architectural decisions. Every second principal engineer in the company is a joke and an insult to the engineering community. C-level management has no idea what to do next.

A lot of politics for self-promotion. It feels like it's all about politics and talking, rather than actually making a product.

Advice to Management

Stop doing whatever you're doing, and do the opposite.
