Pros

Nearly everyone I worked with was friendly and professional. I've had a few managers there, and they were all fantastic. The department I was in was exceptionally run, although our product struggled to get off the ground. Late nights were few and far between, and I felt that I had complete control over my schedule most of the time.

Cons

As an SDET, not all the work was interesting. We got stuck doing a lot of manual tests since vendors weren't budgeted for our department. Also, sometimes it felt like we were all waiting around for something to happen, which was boring.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work; my stocks depend on it.
