Pros

Team was awesome. Work was engaging. Give back work was rewarding. Continual growth.

Cons

Not much progression. If there is progression, it's super slow with small pay increases.

Software is extremely old-fashioned with not much innovation. This isn't just one person's opinion; I spoke to many other employees.

HR is not good. Don't trust that they value you, even if they say it over the time you are there.

Advice to Management

Advice to HR: If a team requests an employee to come back, but that employee does not hit the marks in the interview, maybe you need to reassess your approach.

Defining someone's career based on one day when they are wanted by the software teams is appalling.
