Pros

Can be relaxed work place Work-life balance Average salary

Cons

Lack of quality in the team , they don't do any unit tests or functional testing, encouraging stitching , and hacking to claim features and meet deadlines. Chaotic team planning or during stand up . Use a legacy technology stacks (like ten years old) Lack of diversity , most of the team is from India If you are a software engineer looking for a quality & exciting place then look elsewhere.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
