Pros
  • Lots of opportunities to grow.
  • Great managers and engineers to work with.
  • Flexible time off.
  • Good bonus compensation.
  • Pay half of benefit premiums for insurance, which can be applied to all members of the family, so I'm not having to pay 100% out of pocket for all the other members.
Cons

Since 2022, there have been a number of layoffs. And starting in 2023, they transitioned to leveraging 1-star ratings in the performance review process as a mechanism for letting a certain number of people go without freaking everyone else out.

They say we are ruthlessly prioritizing projects to be completed during milestones for months now. But it feels like that hasn't changed.

Lots of milestone injections occur.

Advice to Management
  • Legitimately reduce the number of projects teams are tasked with to complete during milestones.
  • Don't leverage the performance review process as a layoff mechanism.
