Great benefits but every day felt like a waste of my life

Business Outlook

Pros

Really good benefits and compensation. Work life balance was really good.

Cons

Felt like I was wasting my life away working on things no one cared about. Lots of useless meetings and projects. Too many people practicing "resume driven development" rather than trying to solve real problems.

Pros

There are some smart people left

Cons

The company doesn’t care about career growth of individual. If you speak up you will get punished indirectly and eventually they will set you up for failure.
