Corporate culture can be hit or miss
Entry Level Software Developer • Current Employee

Pros: Great benefits, great people (depending where you land), good flexibility with work hours. Great support among teammates and direct manager.
Cons: Senior leadership say they seem not to care much about the impact on employers. The CEO told us to assume goodness and no layoffs were happening, only to later shut down an entire innovation center. The new CIO, who came from Apple, appears tone-deaf. They held a new meeting to talk about direction and plans for the GM IT sector, completely dismissing any hard-hitting questions from those affected by the shutdown.

Pros: A lot of teams, a lot of products, some mix of modern and ancient stacks. It's really guesswork which you'll be assigned.
Cons: Micromanagement, noncompliance towards agile principles, and political games.

Leadership has no idea what it's doing or what it should do

Pros: They do have open positions for newly graduated college students.
The pay is at least on par with large consulting firms.
They do provide a severance package on being laid off, with strings attached.
Cons: They have major layoffs and hiring drives seemingly every 2-3 years. You, your manager, and everyone else are treated like a number. Top management is requiring RTO, but also closing down offices and terminating most roles at said offices, so they are basically setting you up for failure.
