F5

• Competitive tech salary.

• Wellness days and a good amount of vacation meant work-life balance was good for me.

The job title I received was not the one I applied for. The responsibilities started similarly, but it only took about six months for them to change to a different role than the one I was sold during interviews.

I'm not sure any managers knew what their employees were doing. People seemed to either be doing almost nothing or be overworked to meet deadlines.

Aforementioned deadlines seemed to be set before we even knew what product we were making. It's the definition of deadline-driven development.

Technical leadership openly insulted developers' work after remaining unhelpful through most of the projects. They were reported to upper management by multiple people for this. The reporters ended up leaving the company or team, and the leadership remained the same.

Overall, the perks are nice but not worth the stressful environment.

• Learn how to evaluate employees' performance or what they are doing day-to-day.

• Actually change leadership when it is a problem.
