Not positioning to be a tech company anymore
If you know your stuff and land on the right team, WLB and effective hourly pay are quite good. People are generally nice.
The company is moving in the wrong direction for technical folks. If you want to progress solidly into or past a senior level (and be recognized as such by other companies), you're going to have a hard time. The energy of the company is pretty low. It feels like things move at big-tech levels of slowness without the stability. There are lingering doubts about job security and the company's long-term growth. Some teams cut too deep. If you're joining a team with a couple of folks, prepare to have all your time taken up by ops load.
