Pros

Competitive pay and highly intelligent engineers.

Cons

Management does not seem to care about employees' well-being.

The return-to-office mandate is unpopular.

The unspoken rule is that if you want to move up, you need to work overtime and on holidays.

Management saddles teams with too many projects, thinking AI will make it possible, and then tells them to get on board or get out.

There are aggressive, high-pressure product owners and management.

Advice to Management

Listen to your employees who are actually doing the work. They want to work from home where they can focus. Trust that the incredibly intelligent people you hire can succeed without seeing people face to face 5 days a week.
