Pros

• Continuously updating their tech stacks to stay competitive. • Their products are well-maintained and secure. • Their coding standards and best practices are revised regularly. • Great benefits.

Cons

• Very easy to burn out here.

• I was approaching burnout, so I brought it up to my manager. I told them I was fried and really needed help, and then… nothing. I brought it up again, and… nothing. Eventually, I was written up for underperforming. I don't quite understand how it worked out that way.

• Communication.

• Management's attention on their team is generally poor. Instead, they focus on keeping their manager(s) happy. Basically, it's backwards.

Advice to Management

Listen to your team members and then follow through. Get action items put together specifically for that team member approaching burnout or whatever, and help them get what they need instead of reprimanding them.
