Pros

Good location, good benefits.

Cons

The engineering team I was on (not TurboTax) was a very toxic work environment. It was mostly contractors whose aim was to keep projects going by keeping quality relatively low, impeding process changes, and lots of backroom bickering.

Management knew this but wouldn't disrupt a team that shipped, no matter how dysfunctional, efficient, or wasteful it was, and then asked why we couldn't do more with so many resources.

Advice to Management

Hire professional permanent employees who will have a real stake in improving the team.
