Pros
  • Prioritizes cultural values and rewards participation in it.
  • Hires good people who are a joy to work with.
  • Has a variety of cool projects with modern stacks (YMMV).
  • Good benefits.
  • Office amenities such as:
    • Standing desks
    • Dual monitors
  • Fairly casual office dress code. The motto is "dress appropriately".
Cons

Has not made full-time WFH a permanent option (leaves it to individual teams to decide, so they're at least flexible for now).

Difficult to seek mentorship within my own team; seniors don't appear to have time.

The transition to SAFe Agile since last year has been fairly bumpy.

Office snack options are overpriced.

Frequently long hours.

Advice to Management

Make WFH a permanent option.
