Great benefits and pay. Concern with "cost saving" strategies
Great benefits and pay. Concern with "cost saving" strategies
Good benefits. 401k match. PTO. 17 paid holidays per year. Good insurance. Above average pay.
Work feels like it goes at a snail's pace.
It has mismanaged things, such as skimping on a laptop. In an effort to "save" money, they will give a software engineer the same laptop they give HR. This, for example, causes one to waste more time waiting on the PC that could have been spent actually being productive. The time overall spent ends up costing more in salary than if they had just bought a good laptop.
This isn't the only "cost cutting" (I use this partially facetiously) strategy they have used that has backfired or otherwise caused a decrease in quality of life for engineers. Their transition from Rational Synergy to Git is another that comes to mind.
