Pros

Coworkers are generally very cool, easy to chat with Rockstar of the Month Award Monthly Bonus Upbeat culture On site gym free to all employees Many break areas MLOA Annual BBQ Annual Awards Ceremony Best operations team in the business

Cons

Some members of management have no sense of urgency and also depend on other managers to do their job for them Not a lot of room to grow, the lower management and unique roles are filled with people who enjoy it. LO turnover is high (though the tenured LO's typically ROCK IT) Pay is a tad lower than I'd like. Benefits are somewhat costly

Pros

Generally the people I work with are great. They are supportive, creative, and work well as a team. Work-life balance is good, although some teams have more on-call than others.

Cons

- Senior leadership has determined that inflation need not be a factor when calculating raises. - Also, we're having record profitability! But also money is very tight and we all need to tighten our belts. - Our stock is down 50% this year, but you all need to suck it up, even though stock is a huge part of pay. - We don't care that you are getting a 30% effective pay cut this year. - Performance ratings are calculated on vibes before reviews are actually written. - We've started outsourcing heavily to Mexico and India. - "We need to raise the bar" ("Please work harder for the same pay") - Health benefits have eroded for several years. - Other benefits have never been adjusted for inflation. - AI is becoming like a cult. We've actually been told that the dream is to never open a code editor again, despite the technology not being remotely ready for that (and with no proof that it is less expensive or saves time).
