Pros

If you're starting out your career, this is a pretty good choice. Everyone on my team (devs and QA) have all been amazing to work with.

Structure for raises is pretty nice.

$1 health insurance is neat.

Cons

If you care about working remotely in any capacity, look somewhere else. The execs have shown that they REALLY want the peons in office, given the switch from 1 day in office to a 3/2 - 2/3 rotation. I highly doubt they won't try to force devs in office 5 days a week, given how badly they treated QA.

Lack of planning recently and rushed deadlines. As part of the return to office, it was announced that part of the reason was to be able to prepare for "new, and exciting projects." That's great and all, except for the fact that for the projects we've had recently, we've had barely any time to plan. We're thrown deadlines that aren't possible without overtime, and we're constantly getting new or changing requirements. Really great experience right here.

The company really cares about your mental health. Yeah, not really. The technical department (dev/QA) was given the announcement for return to office in November/December, in the middle of the holiday season. How much time did they give QA before they had to return to office 5 days a week? A few weeks. Way to go team! Instead of enjoying the festivities, you've gotta go figure out if you have to move, find a new job, etc.

Advice to Management

If you want to show that you actually care about the mental health of your employees, how about you actually ask them before you make huge changes.
