Pros

Compensation, benefits. The company is trying to do the right things for accessibility, diversity, and inclusion.

Cons

We've had several instances where we've been told by leadership that we have to use a certain technology, even when it doesn't make sense.

Managers make a bulk of the technical decisions without engineer input.

There's a bro culture on my team that has made me feel ignored and underappreciated.

Advice to Management

Listen to your senior engineers.
