Pros: I feel pretty trusted to do the work how I see fit. I feel like my input is heard.

Cons: The team is pretty new, so it can be a little disorganized.

Pros: The interview process for software engineers is pretty rigorous, making it impossible for mediocre developers to get hired. Reasonable/not very demanding work load for competent developers. Free lunches save money and time. Good upper management people. Industry leader (helps with new products penetration). Stocks constantly increase after earning reports every quarter.

Cons: On the flip side, other more well-known (consumer-products tech companies) are targeting the same candidate pool. Having difficulty hiring the top 1% to 0.1% of developers.

Pros: Business goals broadly align with the public good (our software, in theory, makes lifesaving drugs available faster). As far as I can tell, all employees within engineering are treated well. Salary is decent for any given region, though it is region-dependent. Positive and inclusive culture, though engineering teams skew heavily male. This is a safe place to work no matter who you are.

Cons: Engineering teams outside of America may have to work with US or Canadian teams, which can imply late nights sometimes. (Though I have always been encouraged to shift my hours and work flexitime). My team in particular has had some issues with projects assigned from on high, with short turnarounds and often late design changes. This has caused pressure to work overtime sometimes. (I understand this is not a regular issue for most engineering teams).
