Pros

- Really nice and cool coworkers - Okay C-level management

Cons

- Noncompetitive, below average pay - you can earn more elsewhere - Manager/managers (one was fired; can’t say any of us actually shed a tear for that decision), no name dropping, need serious management training to be held at the standards that employees are -> Micromanaging -> Talking down and demotivating employees is poisonous -> No work/life balance whatsoever -> “Drink the kool-aid or get out” mentality - Deadlines are set without any responsible consultation and time estimation with the team. Therefore, expectations and deadlines are unrealistic - No time is given to learn and grow skills for newly added responsibilities to do your job despite not having any education or experience with those responsibilities -> Compensation is not adjusted for adding more responsibilities - Use of a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) document to hide a textbook example of constructive dismissal -> Use employees as an example for others to fall in line -> Attempt to add an unrealistic workload to get an employee to quit to disqualify them from receiving unemployment benefits. -> Have no intention to help the employee grow, they are just attempting to get more work out of the employee and burn them out before their inevitable job search.

Pros

I enjoyed my time at Faraday. Although the compensation wasn't great, they trained me well and I developed a lot of good skills.

Cons

Non-competitive salary, and not a ton of support for low-level engineers
