Not great for young and ambitious engineers

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great work-life balance, with nobody working on weekends and a flexible work schedule. Low stress. Many people work here for decades. Overall, people are friendly.

Cons

Innovation is difficult because new code must be integrated with poorly-written legacy code, exposing bugs at every turn. It takes years to become proficient enough to contribute intellectually, but knowledge gained is largely not transferable. Overall, low growth potential and low salaries. Lots of talk about diversity but little action. Not great for young and ambitious engineers.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible in working hours. Lots of things to learn. Good leadership. Very stable job security.

Cons

Not much. Salary is relative low compared to FAANG. But it is reasonable since this is not as big as those. Projects are a bit intense since there are always deadlines. But once you get used to skills needed to know for those projects, you rarely work late.
