Pros

Opportunity to work on multiple projects and build experience.

Cons

Losing remote work flexibility after 7 years of 100% remote. 45 min commute.

Difficult to get promoted even if direct manager wants to promote you.

Too many disconnected IT decisions made by upper management.

Making less as a software engineer than newly hired engineers.

Multiple times where I had an interim or no manager. Turnover in management.

More Buy vs. Build. Trending towards less actual development, more Dev Ops and vendor software management than custom software.

Advice to Management

Empower frontline management to make decisions on project direction, promotions, compensation, and work practices. It is difficult to manage a company well by making all decisions from three levels up.

Live inclusion and diversity instead of just talking about it.
