Pros

Salary was decent, insurance is paid for.

Cons

The CE Team management is so incompetent it is insane. They have single handedly driven away top talent. The turnover is at such a high rate that most people don't even last 1 year before exiting. There is no reformatting either, they never change their approach to better the team. You will be overworked, miserable and hating your superiors. Also, their culture of "people first" is very hypocritical, seeing as they fired several people on their maternity/paternity leave.

Pros

- I get to work with very smart people in a flexible work environment. I control my own schedule to get what I need to get done, done. - Everybody is always looking for better ways of doing things. The team really wants to win. - When I want to get something done, I can ship it or publish instantly - no red tape of bigger companies. Things move fast so I don't get held up and I can maximize my impact.

Cons

There is a ton of change. Like a lot. It is great that we are always improving but it does make things harder to track. We are also in the middle of a software transformation which takes time and adds more complexity to my day job.
