Pros

The pay is nice, and the 401k and health benefits are nice.

Cons

The engineering culture has been completely gutted by a leadership that just doesn't care about its employees. They've implemented arbitrary "developer metric goals" across the organization, regardless of the nature of each team's work. All of the greatest perks of working here have been stripped away.

Tons of ICs, and even managers, have complained about all the problems, but leadership continues to ignore them. All the "squeaky wheels" are either fired or made so miserable that they quit. Everyone is burning out, and nobody in a position to do anything about it cares.

Advice to Management

Learn to listen to employees.
