Pros: Compensation is very generous, and work-life balance is great. You can work from home whenever needed for doctor's appointments or what not.
Cons: The barest minimum PTO. Only 6 paid holidays, and no sign from management that they're willing to budge on that.
Communication is often poor between teams, leading to lots of lost time/unnecessary refactors which could've been avoided if requirements were properly hammered out before work started.
Too many Project Managers muddying the waters, without soliciting engineering's feedback.
