Pros

Compensation is fairly competitive for the area.

Lots of autonomy in deciding the mandate of the team and the technologies to use.

The business outlook looks fairly positive. I believe in the thesis that if you own the employee data, you can own a lot of the surrounding tools and push out point solutions.

No layoffs even in this market and none planned.

Cons
  • Lots of tech debt that needs to be cleaned up.
  • The hiring bar could be better; some folks are not at the level I would expect at this level of company.
  • You have to make your own work-life balance trade-offs. If you go with the flow, you will find yourself burning out.
Advice to Management

Focus on leveling up the engineering team and paying off some technical debt.
