Plenty of training and access to a Udemy business account, as well as the company paying for certifications.

Management constantly belittles employees, causing damage to their mental health. This behavior is never addressed.

I spent over 3 years with the company, and they provided me and others with no actual projects. We were made to change training topics every week or two, gaining surface-level knowledge without any practical experience.

All practical experience I gained was doing projects on my own time after work hours because I was simply told, "Learn X on Udemy." This made it incredibly difficult to speak to my abilities when finding a new job, on top of the dread of opening my laptop every day.

On top of that, they walked back their remote work policy, making me go back to spending 2+ hours a day in traffic that I could instead be spending with my family.

It never felt like a team environment, with everyone stuck on Udemy with their headphones on anyway.

I received calls regularly on weekend evenings (8-9 pm) to design and develop features that weren't urgent, just because one of the architects didn't have anything else to do and wanted us to work on these features right away and not charge the client for those hours worked.

Compensation is about half of what it should be, and getting a raise is like pulling teeth, even if you meet all of the requirements.

Listen to your employees. Work with them to find what they're good at instead of yanking them around and belittling them constantly when they have trouble learning one technology when they already have certifications and have proven they can work well with a similar one.
