Pros

1. Work life balance. 2. Some nice people and campus life. 3. 401k match. 4. Brad Smith.

Cons

Bad middle management, non technical people as managers make life very difficult. If your manager AES scores come low you better prepare to leave the company or the team, as the manager targets who ever she/he suspects (You might not be the bad scorer but you may become the target). Lot's of politics in the promotion process, to get promotion to senior from SE2 you should never say NO to your manager, agree to what ever she says and agree to what ever work she/lead asks you to do. To get promotion to Staff from SSE you should do the above, plus you should not be doing the coding work rather mostly JIRA story tracking and be very nice with your manager and be nice with some people in your team (with whom you may ask for promotional feedback).

Pros

Pays well, nice work notebooks, don't check office attendance until they need someone to fire

Cons

My whole team and management up to VP level are on visa or offshore. They're not interested in including other cultures. No direction except looking good for immediate manager. Lots of favouritism too. Expectation to accommodate offshore times. Tech is a legacy hodgepodge of unnecessary implementations that only we're made for the resume of the developer. People let go randomly, so no use to work hard or smart, only thing that matters is if the right manager likes you.
