Pros

Salary is OK if you come from a taken-over company and inflation remains low for the coming years.

Cons

Proprietary development frameworks (slowly getting better). Fake scrum resulting in toxic micro-management. Forced team move if you complain. Massive attempts to relocate jobs to lower-cost countries. Your private life doesn't count. Pressure when deadlines approach but also waste of means on useless goals and irrelevant architectural decisions.

Pros

I get to work from home and have a grand-fathered in unlimited PTO policy. And that's about it.

Cons

RUN. This is just a horrible company to work for. Either you are living in constant fear of being fired or you are so overworked you feel like you have to work 60 hours a week just to do the bare minimum. The CEO, Andrea, is just gutting everything, doing mass layoffs over and over again. He has no clear visit for the company, goal posts keep changing, and everyone is setup to fail.
