Toxic politics, and an awful place for software engineers

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

compensation is pretty good if you compare level-wise

Cons

you work extremely hard, no work-life balance, they always make you feel like you should be sorry for not working harder, deadlines are impossible to meet, no software infra to support development, it's basically a hardware company... no compute instances, no e2e tests (seriously?) very basic CI...

Hope this is my last job

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I really hope this is my last job. I'm approaching my 40s and have worked at four companies since graduating from college; after being in the industry for 13 years, I think this is a place to stay. - Great company culture - Hybrid work model and flexibility - No micromanagement (managers are open to it if that's your preference) - Competitive compensation, including salary and RSUs (I see the absence of bonuses as a positive; the CEO believes in paying as much as possible without offering optional annual or quarterly bonuses) - Good work-life balance

Cons

Insurance company (Cigna) is really bad; they often find ways to deny claims.
