Pros

Flexible working hours. Free parking. Free lunch every other Thursday.

Cons

Non-technical software development managers listen to and favor only senior engineers. It's extremely hard to get a raise or promotion even though with proven hard work. Performance reviews are fake. Ranking was determined in an hour-long meeting, regardless of what you input in the self-assessment.

Advice to Management

Retire yourselves.
