A sinking ship

Pros

A relaxed culture, no one takes things too seriously and there is a pretty decent Ben package. Bonus is either something you can buy a boat with or barely afford a happy meal with (it changes based on company performance). DO NOT get swindled by the bonus pitch if you interview to work here. It’s not worth the risk.

Cons

Far too much turnover in the top leadership positions. I’ve been an engineer at Best Buy for years. In the last six months there have been at least three reorg’s - where teams get new names and new leadership. Just when people get used to things, it changes, a leader gets poached (sal is below national avg) and it starts all over again. Unqualified leaders get sucked into their former bosses role and they don’t fully understand how to run things and the whole company and customer struggle because of it. Cory is a pretty face, nothing more. She, like most CEO’s are puppets and the board members control the strings.

Pros

Team culture was a good fit for me, I joined after completing a coding bootcamp, and my teammates were incredibly patient and helpful while I was getting more comfortable with the codebase. Overall, I have always felt that they want to see me succeed and grow in my role. My team is hybrid, and I enjoy the flexibility of choosing when to use the office as a resource.

Cons

Don't really have any critiques at this time.
