The worst of the worst

Platform Engineer • Current Employee

Richmond, Virginia, United States

Pros: - Very team-dependent; good WLB when you’re not on call.

Cons: - Management will put on a show and PIP you for “influence” and “communication” even though you’re already doing your best. - Medical issue? You’ll be PIPed the next review cycle, no matter what your medical issue is. No compassion or empathy. - On-call shifts, long hours troubleshooting with no reward. Never got promoted in the time I was there and barely got any raises every year.
