Pros

- Mostly friendly people - Interesting projects to work on - No shortage of work - Pay is decent though not top notch

Cons

- Management doesn't take work/life balance seriously. You need to manage that yourself. They probably won't bother you if you set boundaries, but they won't encourage it either - Engineering process and culture is not great. Don't really follow agile practices. I don't think leadership is even very familiar with Agile. - Lots of tech debt and no defined process to work it down - Managers are spread across multiple teams and don't have time to really focus on what's good for a particular team. - Lots of hierarchy. Needs to become a flatter company to move more quickly.

Pros

Good amount of PTO. Use every bit of it to maintain your sanity. Usually opportunities for OT, since they don't keep staffing ratios to keep up with the volume of work that needs to be taken care of.

Cons

Significant lay offs and restructuring keep people on edge thinking they'll get the boot next. The CEO makes millions, while canceling merit pay increases that get dangled over your head by supervisors all year to meet their benchmarks. Most phone calls are cranky customers looking for late trucks or calling back due to rescheduling out.
