Pros

Job security and manager/team agency (but this is declining with RTO).

Some teams are using great career technologies like Kafka, AWS, and Go.

Cons

RTO policy/communication. Whole 401k vests at 3 years. Raises below inflation. Most software teams require weekend deployments with no additional pay. Below industry standard PTO.

Most teams maintain outdated code and just push pipelines. Almost no in-office amenities, free food once a month if you're lucky.

Advice to Management

I know the only reason WFH has lasted so long is because of higher-up pushback against Jaime. Thank you for that, but since RTO is fully in place, look for different jobs.
