Pros
  • Good tech stack
  • Opportunity to learn
Cons
  • A lot of politics in management and employee retention within the company is not based on work/skill.
  • Think twice before joining if you belong to a minority, as harassment is common and diversity efforts are nothing more than an eyewash.
  • If you are not in the habit of social drinking, you might feel unwelcome.
  • The CEO/COO and a handful of people in engineering management are total sadist/narcissistic predators. Employees who are vocal about this are usually moved to different office locations in the name of re-organization, and many good/skilled employees left the company.
  • Also, I intuitively felt some religious means of control in the company, but I don't want to talk further about it.
