Pros

- Talented Engineers - Some cool projects being worked on

Cons

By far the worst place I've worked at throughout my 5 year career. Every post that you'll see on Glassdoor about management being toxic and incapable is absolutely true. Engineers are as talented and as capable as I've seen at FAANG companies I've worked at in the past, but managers were clearly promoted/hired without the scalability of the company in mind. Managers are skilled at engineering tasks, but are clueless when it comes to managing people. I've seen too many onboarding engineers left without proper support and insight into how to do their jobs well and it's actually pathetic. How do you expect new engineers to meet tight deadlines if they're not given the proper tools and support to do so? This company has the potential to be something great, but not the way it's being ran currently. However, even outside of management, most what's being built out is glorified demoware that the government is buying into because their software hasn't been updated since the 1990's and anything new is considered to be a massive upgrade. Please stay away if you have any self-respect.

Pros

good pay, actually not as bad work-life balance (team-dependent) as it seems on the outside minus the sprints/troubleshooting that comes up sometimes.

Cons

selling my soul and ethics for something that i don't believe in at all
