Pros
  • Good benefits.
  • New leadership.
  • Decent accommodation for Covid (for customers and employees).
  • No drama from managers and good work-life balance.
  • Some flexibility on what projects you work on and enough time to do research and make intelligent decisions instead of always being rushed (also requires good self-management, though).
Cons
  • Several layoffs in recent years (including a big one right before Covid even started).
  • Many projects are tedious and not very challenging.
  • Depending on your team, you may end up being blocked by external teams a lot.
  • Some people are clearly not very good at their jobs, but they've been here the whole time I have.
Advice to Management

Keep investing in the people. My team has been consistently losing engineers to Amazon. I myself almost went to Amazon but luckily y'all accepted my asking compensation when negotiating.
