Pros

Great benefits package Good salaries Great product

Cons

The worst "Hero programmer" behavior I have seen from middle management and senior developers:

  • No help during onboarding.
  • No interest in helping or sharing information during work.
  • Constant posing as a hero to save the day on any occasion possible in front of higher management whenever a new hire makes a mistake or has not enough information to do the work.

They hire you as a feature developer, but you get mostly unit test development and bug fixing work. They won't let you promote to the next level unless you are willing to move to a test engineer role.

Advice to Management

Don't encourage a hero culture; it is creating a highly toxic environment.
