Illogical Blanket Policies

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They offer great compensation in the form of base pay + rsu + bonus

Cons

They are antiquated in some of the software technologies they produce (this is highly BU specific) They apply blanket policies that don’t make sense. EX they expect me to go from a remote employee to I office which would mean 3 hours commuting daily to an office where none of my colleagues work.
