Supportive colleagues and good pay, but opaque decision-making

Senior frontend developer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice people, good comp, good job stability, Cool product that other people will know about. Can get by with relatively low effort if that's what you're into

Cons

Often large disconnect between doing the right thing and doing the "get promoted" thing. High level decision making very opaque to all but most senior. Doomed/failed projects continue to be kept alive long after they should have been scrapped and if you end up working on these it's very sad.
