Pros
  • Good work-life balance.
  • Depending on the team, one could be very fortunate in terms of motivation, challenges, and work.
  • Focus on results and deliveries.
  • Good professional growth and recognition (not financially).
Cons

Total compensation was better before the acquisition. There are new compensations to replace the lost RSUs, but the grants are less generous than before.

Depending on the team, one could be very unfortunate in terms of motivation, challenges, management, and work.

Advice to Management
  • Listen to employees' feedback and act on poor leadership and management.
  • I really wish all employees in the organization had the positive experience of working with great leaders, directors, and managers as I have.
  • Improve the variable total compensation for engineers based on performance.
