Pros

They expect 6 hours of on-task work, with an hour of lunch and an hour of email/meetings/etc. per day. They give you 2 hours of work. Cool, I guess, but you still have to act like it's going to take you 6 hours to do, and you have to stay online for 8 hours. It's fine if you have zero other options and you're desperate.

Cons

Pay is below market, and raises are an absolute joke.

Inflation: 6.5% nationally, my city: 12.5%, my raise: 3%.

Career development is non-existent, and nobody really cares.

Advice to Management

Listen to workers when they say how they best work. And no, your BS public image saving word-smithing doesn't change what everyone knows you're saying.

Pay anywhere near what a SE goes for in the market, and maybe you'll become somewhere close to a competitor. Paying 25% below market rate will NEVER (NEVER!!!!) allow you to hire FAANG, no matter how much you try.
