Pros

Good teams will treat you well, but things have taken a turn for the worse.

Cons

They mandated an in-house programming language that you will need to learn. Documentation for it is lacking, and nobody is excited about it. Learning this language will not build your skillset as an engineer.

They implemented a stack ranking policy. No PIP, no support, no severance. Amazon at least gives you a runway before firing with severance so you can prepare finances, take leave, or apply elsewhere. Intuit will fire you for performance without warning, PIP, or severance. This will supposedly happen to 8% of people a year. This new performance termination policy is worse than Amazon.

Advice to Management

Don't be worse than Amazon.
