Pros: Growth Learning Leadership Ethics Professionalism

Cons: Balance, Training, Health, Motivation, Prudence

Pros: The pay is good. People are nice, and it's usually very comfortable overall.

Cons: Performance metrics are stupid. They insist on measuring your sprint completion rate, and your job depends on it. The problem is, this is very inconsistent. Any dependency, problem, or situation that comes up will not be very relevant to adjust the metric. Ergo, carry-overs are unforgivable to management. There are a ton of missing roles and departments. We have the budget for extravagant outings, weekly company-paid lunches, and $5k USD MacBooks, but not for an HR department. We also lack a lot of administrative staff, such as having a SCRUM master, enough DevOps, and actual resources that would improve our working experience. It's important to note all these missing roles end up being some random engineer's responsibility.

Pros: Smart coworkers, competitive compensation, a nice office with an excellent in-house kitchen serving lunches.

Cons: Culture & morale in engineering has seemed to take a dive. Leadership has been mostly focused on hiring in the sales department. Engineers and PMs have been leaving engineering at a pretty high rate, and we're not replacing at nearly the same rate. This results in more burden on remaining team members, which then results in more dissatisfaction and more people leaving.
