Pros

Good IT setup, I was able to get up and running pretty quickly. Deadlines are pretty slack, you can take your time without too much pressure.

Cons

There's a lot of subtle bullying, manipulative behavior and backstabbing going on. People are eager to find short-cuts and people to take advantage of. I even had a subtle death thread directed toward me soon after I was hired. Two people talking about violence within earshot of me, definitely intended to intimidate. The quality of engineers seems fine, not great. Very aimless, seems like they're just waiting to be told what to do. No passion and slack deadlines makes for bad habits.

Pros

At this point? None honestly.

Cons

They did a complete 180 since I got hired. Came in as remote during COVID and now that they forced most people back to the office, they made us 3rd class citizens in the company. Can't get a raise, a promotion, any spiffs or even the same contests that the people in the office do. This company does not keep promises and has been constantly doing workforce reductions ever year like clockwork for 4 years now. The COO Jeff Clarke is an absolute clown as well, you have to go into the office dressed as business casual, but this guy goes to One Dell World in undersized lame t-shirts every year. Hypocrisy at all levels of this company. Just looking for a good opportunity and I am out, after talking to my co workers I feel like 70-80% feel the same. The tools also suck and are down half the time as well.
