Pros
  • Good people
  • Pairing (if it's a pro to you)
  • Stock purchase program
Cons
  • Feel stuck in a team-specific stack, making it harder to grow.
  • Fixed a low-percentage (inflation) policy for raises without a change in title.
  • Only two weeks of PTO officially.
  • No work from home without a specific cause for a given day.
  • Mac for work, personal machine is Windows. Inconsistencies make working on a personal machine a PITA.
  • Lack of transparency at the management level.
Advice to Management
  • Provide more PTO.
  • Provide more opportunities to grow via experience in multiple teams or areas of the company.
  • Stop trying to underraise promising personnel. You lose them and then have to pay more competitive rates to pull in talent that requires training and has to develop commitment.
