Pros

Paycheck and benefits are adequate.

Cons

Very little vacation encouraged.

Management is not impressive and does not inspire.

Remote culture, but required to come into the office. I worked on a team where three of the managers were on the other side of the country. I'm based in California. Worst part: they pretended like it was not a problem.

Expected to obey!

Advice to Management

Try to work with engineers, and not argue with them.

Learn to give and get feedback on a regular basis.

Develop empathy.

Practice Radical Candor.
