Pros

Depending on which team you're on, you can have a reasonable work schedule (if you work hard while at the office) and decent work/life balance. Pay doesn't seem bad IF you came in with a good starting offer. There are some good learning opportunities and good engineering work to do.

Cons

Whatever the local management does for you, you are a worthless peon to the larger corporate entity. They assume each and every employee is data entry, sales, or agency rep. They have no clue, none whatsoever, that IT and engineering are critical parts of the company. It's almost comical, except it's so frustrating. Don't expect raises or promotions unless your boss can prove you are significantly under market pay. There are no opportunities to grow upward in your career, because there is no growth in the company, and none of the managers EVER leave.

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
