Pros

-good wlb -teammates generally friendly -free food

Cons

-micromanaging -managers have favorites and if your not a favorite they will try hard to get rid of you -random layoffs out of nowhere now which they call "reorgs" -RTO 3x a week which makes no sense when we were doing great with 1x a week. they say its for "collaboration" but its just webex in the office in the end -higher ups are unfriendly, cold, dont care about you. hard to get remote now - archaic tech stack and boring work - low pay - hard to get internal jobs now
