Pros

- Good starting salary, at higher range of entry level

Cons

- Company culture is NOT what they say. It is driven by gaslighting, egos, and complaints. Usually a lot of "I'm right and everyone else is wrong" so the loudest voice in the room usually is the favorite. I heard sexist and problematic remarks bullying others behind closed doors. - Relies constantly on individual tribal knowledge, very little documentation on important parts of the job. Pertinent industry knowledge and documentation were always out of date and/or inaccessible, which caused problems. Especially when people left. -Terrible communication between developers and upper management leads to problems and missed deadlines. - HR is terrible and did not let me change positions internally, or help with culture problems.

Pros

Most colleagues are well intentioned, but stretched beyond the max.

Cons

After filing for FMLA, my “leader” encouraged me not to involve HR in the future. The whole point of FMLA is job protection. Him making this suggestion, at best, seems highly unethical and potentially illegal. Some leaders are good with people. Others are more techno sound. The ones that can effectively do both are let go. It makes no sense and the company offers little transparency.
