  • Located in the best part of the city.
  • Nice initial pay.
  • Relocation bonus if you come from another state.

Cons

Depending on the team, you could get stuck responding to support tickets. The codebase for some products is very outdated. The company takes too long to adapt to an ever-evolving market. There are few and low pay raises. Promotions don't necessarily mean you'll get a significant raise. New employees could start earning more than someone that's been in the company for 5 years, for example. The recruiting process can take a few weeks or several months; it depends on the team you are applying for, and it's very inconsistent.

Advice to Management

Be clearer with the recruitment process for new employees. Adjust salaries to reflect the actual experience of people working in the company. Be more generous with pay raises.
