Pros

You can find a team and get lost, doing nothing, working from home. So practically they pay you to exist.

Cons

If you want a real career, avoid this old company:

  • Lack of innovation, so you will work on old systems and procedures.
  • The longer you stay, the less you know, so you have the risk of getting stuck.
  • Salary way below the industry. Raises of 1% are the typical way to show appreciation for best engineers.
  • Promotions are scarce.
  • Moving many units to India.
  • Working with too many teams in India (meetings on the AM).
  • Company is divided into infinite groups.
  • Dinosaur cemetery (at least in the US).
Advice to Management

Just dissolve the company and let the space for others willing to create.
