Pros
  • Work-life balance.
  • Fun, interesting software to work on.
Cons

Upper-level management creating policies out of nowhere to cut you for being there too long.

Advice to Management

If a position is contract-to-hire, why implement a "goofy" policy where employees there for too long have to be laid off?

Make it make sense.

Shouldn't employees who know the codebase and overall work be valued higher than wasting time and money to find new people to train?

Don't make too many hires then.

Rivian constantly hired new developers, causing older ones to be laid off?
