Pros

There is a decent salary and benefits, especially early-career.

Unlimited PTO is nice if and only if you have the right manager.

Cons

Terrible culture. Expect 6+ hours of meetings daily, all with 30+ people

  • No work gets done. Teams that directly work together have long, fully non-intersecting management chains. Expect a lot of "We do this because it's always been done that way"

  • Even down to using in-house text editors from the IBM days. Every minor decision takes weeks of discussion and internal politics.

Advice to Management

Fire half of the management layers. There should not be 13 layers between CEO and engineer. Engineers are your best asset- trust them to make the right decisions.
