Vantaggi

Good team, good first level managers, interesting projects. Easy job, good benefits, good pay - as long as you negotiate for it.

Svantaggi

Incompetent project management; keep missing deadlines; still stuck in waterfall; complete chaos with respect to planning, estimating, requirements. Senior management does not have an open door policy. Unhappy teams kept silent. Management seeks fault in employees rather than take accountability and ownership. Forced overtime and weekends to compensate for project management's failures. Going above and beyond goes unappreciated. Senior management will flex its "legally we can tell you when, where, and how to work" muscle, and literally put 20 people in a room with no windows that is meant for 10 people to work when they feel projects are not being delivered on time. No retrospectives and thus keep repeating the same mistakes. Overcrowded cubicles due to insufficient space. No strategic thinking, all is tackled brute-force.

Vantaggi

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Svantaggi

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
