Pros

Company pays well, and the range is broad for the role. Perks are good and comparable with the market.

Cons

Zero work-life balance.

Leadership with C-level is awesome, but middle-level management is really where the trouble is. Directors and VPs strive for showcasing with innovation, but none cares about building matured products. My push for building quality, reusable frameworks was never respected. Agile frameworks are being used inappropriately for projects that have fixed requirements. The employees are relatively young and spoiled. Middle management is costing the young and talented generation coached bad practices for short wins, hence losing long-term visions.

Advice to Management

C-level management needs to comb through every middle-level management individual for their background, what kind of leadership they provide, etc.
