Pros

Somewhat competitive compensation compared to peers.

Cons

A few years ago, the engineering culture was passionate, exciting, and in constant pursuit of best practices. Over the past couple of years, as engineers have left, they have generally not been replaced with US-based employees but rather with overseas employees and contractors. I have no problem with non-US employees, but the pattern I've observed is a decreased quality of code and a lack of engagement.

Advice to Management

Overseas employees/contractors can be good, but need to be vetted better. Many of the new employees do not push back on bad ideas; they are basically order takers that will implement the desired task irrespective of the negative affects to the system.
