Pros

Fully remote working 50% discount on products My salary was higher than average

Cons

Lots of middle management and disconnect between the people doing the work and stakeholders. I've seen the wrong thing built many times Teams are extremely siloed Priorities shift a lot and you end up with lots of half baked features that never make it out Lots of technical debt. There is very much a fix later mentality No automated testing culture Lots of micromanagement and lack of trust If you are a senior developer you are expected to be available out of hours during big releases Features are based on what stakeholders want and not what the customer wants Lots of hard deadlines before work is estimated Middle management say yes to every stakeholder request and then put the pressure on the people below them Middle management lie to stakeholders about progress Critical systems hanging together by a thread Security concerns are not taken seriously It's only a flat structure when it suits the business

Pros

Discounts, we got 50% off of most items

Cons

Unhygienic, stressful, money hungry, fear monger. Unprofessional managers both as an employee and customer. Never experienced such low life conditions, manager brought in animal multiple times in store, and made staff clean its pee. Customers were floored, inexcusable and HR is unresponsive. The bathroom is disgusting, and inaccessible. I cannot imagine any one with a physical disability being able to use the restroom. It was so difficult to suck in your stomach, then trip on box after box. They BLOCK the fridge and made us put our food in our tiny lockers. Manager is too comfortable with the amount of time spent within the company to ever fear facing any consequences or repercussions. Even fired staff in the past for contacting HR for help.
