Pros
- Surrounded by smart coworkers who can answer almost any question and are very open to mentoring - Great access to technology - The team events while few and far between are fun, and the dwindling culture still produces some great lifelong relationships.
Cons
The culture has been spiralling downwards for 2+ years. Small things start to add up (removing a day of free lunch, removing snacks in the office, forcing more people to come into the office, axing many team events and budgets, altering pay bands/scale, etc. ) while the senior leadership spends tens of thousands+ on big dinners, trips to "the island", and retreats for those in the boy's club. The work is also extremely boring and unengaging most of the time, with fewer and fewer actually interesting projects.
