Pros

Very chill Remote Work Pay is okay Good discount if you like the clothes

Cons

Huge attrition problem that has never been resolved High ops load given to engineers, leading to burnout Management is nontechnical and has 0 trust in technical talent Awful middle management with 0 accountability Lots of politics, no meritocracy Meeting driven culture that leads to shifting blame instead of advocating change Good work is not rewarded or recognized, and bad work is openly called out, which discourages people from doing anything Culture is terrible for engineers Lots of contractors everywhere Lifers at this company are bottlenecks
