Avantages

The company culture here is great - everyone wants to build better tools and collaborating within and across teams is fairly seamless. We work with a lot of the latest tech and even junior engineers get involved in design and planning of projects. Work/life balance is very good as well - if I have something come up during the day it is not difficult to fit my work around it. PTO is stellar - they call it unlimited but the actual limit is 30 days/year, which is still excellent. My starting pay was higher than most new of my graduating class as well, though I have more to say about pay in the cons section.

Inconvénients

My main complaint is that I have worked here for 2.5 years and have only gotten bare minimum raises in spite of going out of my way to grow and teach new hires, and I obtained several difficult-to-achieve certifications. The company has been very stingy with pay bumps and promotions - presumably due to budget issues - but nonetheless I feel that I am underpaid. I also have discussed a promotion with my superiors - and they seemed to dodge the conversation, providing no concrete input as to how I could achieve the senior title. Working for a company that is trying to make up a budget shortfall sucks - even after the layoffs earlier this year that haven't been able to hire interns for permanent positions or promote anyone.

Avantages

Work life balance is good. PTO is unlimited, but not really, it is 6 weeks(which is still really good).

Inconvénients

The UI team consisted of about 6 people, with two of them being team leads. One team lead would manage 2 people, the other would manage the other two. That would lead to heavy micro managing. That wouldn't be so bad if the team didn't consist of people with heavy egos and are dead set in their ways. It is often their way or the highway there. Prepare for a lot of meetings with little to no contributions from the team. I've never been on a team before where I encounter so much conflict and passive aggressiveness. I eventually became so beat down and tired of everyday that I started to even reflect if I wanted to continue a career in software. The pay was decent, compared to most salaries in 2025 it is below or average. In the three years I work there I don't know if I ever saw anything I helped work on go to production. Every project was either scrapped or just forgotten about. But by far the worst con had to be the UI team as a whole being like you are in a toxic relationship. It will eventually make you toxic too,
