Pros

Free food. Good product. Okay health benefits, but not for a large family.

Cons

No middle-aged peers. Seems ageist.

Company is obsessed with everyone being the same cheesy personality, like a tech factory.

Too many office events, and you are looked at strangely for wanting to go home and keep work/life separate.

Low pay rate for a software engineer with 15 years of experience; it's laughable.

Advice to Management

Create a work-life balance.

As a software engineer, I can do my job at home as needed.

It's strange that a tech company forces you to go in and forces you to hang out with peers outside of work hours so much.

Create more diversity of age and cultures.
