Pros

Salaries are alright for junior to mid level roles, but will refuse to pay overtime if you earn over a certain threshold (131k in 2025) Company will also pay for flights to team gatherings

Cons

Borderline hostile environment for software engineers, you are forced to remote desktop into an extremely underpowered VM because the local machine is locked down to the max. During peak business hours the (shared) VM often freezes for up to 10 minutes at a time because the infra team cheaped out. The company also loves starting useless projects to pretend that they're delivering value, while literally decades old issues sit in the backlog. Oh and the company has agreed to sell out to private equity, CEO has assured that "there is nothing to worry about", then proceeds to layoff engineers the following month.
