Pros

No pros to talk about.

Cons

Severe disconnect between leadership and the engineering teams. Director-level management rewards corporate politics and favoritism over technical capability and hard work. There is a distinct lack of genuine technical knowledge at the top, covered up by buzzwords and empty talk. If you value a meritocracy where skill matters more than playing political games, look elsewhere.

Pros

- Great work / life balance, leadership wonderful dependent on team, collaborative coworkers, everyone try to help each other

Cons

- internal processes too long, hard to progress career if you are not loyal to certain leaders, sometimes we get in our own way to service our customers, internal bottlenecks between sales and delivery at times. If you are someone who likes to follow processes this is a good place, if you are someone who thinks outside of the box and pushes the envelope of change for betterment or more efficiency - you could be frustrated
