  • Local
  • Great 401k matching
  • Opportunity to deep dive into databases and big data metrics
  • Lunch and snack perks
Cons

The more obscure engineering teams may be disorganized, so opt for product-to-consumer as much as possible.

On my team, the management chain was disorganized and consistently unsure of the purpose of a project. Even with explanation from myself, a manager, and a more "senior" coworker, the rest of the team failed to understand the long-term significance of projects.

Compensation was mid and strict compared to the market.

My direct manager often forgot the strategy for product scoping.
