Pros

Always a lot to learn and people are eager to help, very nice

Cons

Use a story board point metric system business wide Will literally rather you do no work than have you mess up a sprint to bring in a new story in late Bought by private equity a couple years ago, so they’re being as stingy as possibly with salary increases and promotions, did layoffs, and are hiring a lot of engineers from India Also very easy to be stuck doing mundane work and will get rusty

Pros

Appreciated working with smart, driven colleagues; they were truly experts in their fields. The rigorous schedules we were on were strictly maintained, which usually made for a very organized structure and workload.

Cons

Leadership went through many changes and acquisitions while I was there. The mission seemed to keep changing, and it wasn't easy to maintain consistency in our reports with such leadership changes. Market analysts were often pulled onto consulting projects but were not paid as consultants. This is what pushed me to leave.
