Pros

Some really great people, especially among the senior engineers. Casual work environment. Low drama.

Cons

The application of scrum and other planning processes is hamfisted and dogmatic; Totally prevents the teams from improving themselves. Decisions are made either randomly, based on laziness, or using highest paid person's opinion. Using data or experiments to make decisions is barely given lip-service. They've not nailed down roles and responsibilities in any job role and almost completely lack the ability to remove the few toxic individuals or poor performers. Their hiring strategy is nonsense. Managers have hardly any autonomy, expectations, or defined responsibilities. Directors make up a big crony culture and play favorites. Meanwhile they don't develop their people or expect that of their reports.

Pros

Flexibility with my schedule to be able to take and pick up my kids from school. Great team to work with at my location. Ability to train and do jobs outside of my regular task to get hands on experience in other areas.

Cons

Department was restructured and my position was relocated.

Pros

Job can be fun depending on if you're a natural performer. You gather valuable experience interviewing others.

Cons

Terrible pay and culture. They will likely not pay you commission for anything you sell so do not take that on. Focus on your primary job.
