Pros

If (and it's a big if) you don't have a bad manager, then it can be okay. The tech around you is still going to be horrible, but you won't have to deal with the stupid politics nor the "come in X days a week" BS. There are also some interesting projects, but very few, and you really don't know where you'll land until Day 1.

Cons
  • Reluctance to provide laptops.
  • Rigid in-office schedule.
  • Bad tech and bad SEC ops policies that come from the stone ages.
  • Low pay considering the stress.
  • You'll be surrounded by untalented engineers and leaders making decisions they don't fully comprehend.
  • You will have no voice.
Advice to Management

Cut 50% of your upper management, streamline your processes, and start listening to employees.

Also, stop hiring only "cheap" talent and start hiring based on the skills you need.
