Pros

• Flexible remoting options. • Work-life balance (a lot better than before). • Company culture (at least on my team, it was friendly).

Cons

Career progression is bad. Promotions are not based on merit but how hard your manager fights for it.

Top-heavy teams. Some teams will have four seniors on a team of six to ten, with no clear sense of direction or who is in charge. Promotions also don't happen on top-heavy teams due to team balance.

Advice to Management

Promotions seem to always be met with "Budget constraints," "Your team has too many seniors," etc. But yet, we are always posting new positions...
