Pros: I joined CVS out of college, so it was my first full-time job as a software developer. I joined under one of their university programs, so I had great benefits such as traveling to a few big cities in the state, like New York. I worked with great teams, and management was good, too. I worked remotely, so work-life balance was good. But I also feel like I worked a lot because "work" was always there with me at home, and I could log in any time.

Cons: Not really cons. I feel fortunate to have had this job since it was remote, so I had very flexible hours. But like I said, it felt like work never ended. I changed a few managers in my nearly 3 years there; not sure if that was bad. Unfortunately, I was laid off due to their financial mistakes of acquiring new companies at really expensive valuations. But oh well, life happens, and one moves on. Overall, I cannot complain. Work is work, and in my experience, at least, it was good.

Pros: Good people and good experience

Cons: Got shut down pretty quickly.

Pros: I worked with some great people.

Cons: They're moving in the wrong direction with tech decisions, pushing forward quickly with little regard for quality or long-term thinking. Lots of mobile engineers work too much -- nights and weekends, even. This makes little sense since you can't quickly push a production fix to the App Store or Play Store; there's a whole review process that slows things down. So working production support over a weekend as a mobile engineer makes zero sense.
