Pros

2 days work from office.

Cons

Despite the change in leadership, nothing has improved under the new CEO. The senior leadership team remains ineffective, creating intense pressure at the top that trickles down to individual employees. Micromanagement is at its peak, leading to a toxic work environment with poor culture and little to no job security. Employees are expected to work overtime, and those who don’t comply may find themselves targeted. Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) and warning emails are frequently used as a means of pressure rather than genuine performance enhancement.

Pros

High ownership over work product.

Cons

Always in a rush to deliver feature work, so tech debt accrues and developer experience is much worse than it could be.
