Pros

Decent pay. Not big tech level but more than average. Some managers are good.

Cons

CEO is controversial. While he is taking his private jet to many places having fine and luxurious meals. Massive layoff on the whole eng org of the Life Science department. Zero empathy or consideration for the employee benefits and wellbeing. Full of corporate craps.

Pros

Good pay Good teammates Remote-friendly with very few meetings.

Cons

Offshore engineers to Spain for less than 1/2 of the pay. No clear vision from leadership. Cycle through VP-level leaders every couple of months. Chaotic internal process: * HR doesn't know anything; the whole layoff and offshoring were handled poorly. What they said in the meeting does not match what they sent out in paper. * IT is managed poorly. There are a couple of times I wake up lost all my access. Lack of internal communication and documents. Some people still have access after they quit. * People have unnecessary access to FedRAMP prod. * They don't treat tenured employees well. The most experienced engineer in every team is usually a mid-level engineer.
