Pros

Work-life balance is very, very good.

Hybrid work schedule, which is nice.

Cons
  1. The apps are all old and falling apart. There are orgs within IT dedicated to working on these old apps, and the bureaucracy shows.

  2. Pay for new college hires is bottom tier in the industry for software.

  3. I had an idea of mine taken, and someone else claimed ownership for it.

  4. Most of management is technically incompetent.

Advice to Management
  1. Increase base pay for new college hires.
  2. Let new college hires work on newer projects.
  3. Encourage new college hires to think of ways to optimize and enhance older apps.
