Pros

Civilized work environment- it's good to work for human beings. A good work-life balance is easy to maintain. People here are actually trying to make things better.

Cons

Waterfall model development rooted in the 70s. Monolithic releases that drag on and on (deathmarch). Upper management in development seems to have their head in the sand. Inadequate resource allocation for test, program management. Etc.

Pros

* I enjoyed the collaborative team culture. Everyone was supportive and willing to help each other. * The work-life balance was good, and the overall working environment was relatively low stress. * I had opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise products and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Cons

* One area I felt could be improved was compensation growth. As my responsibilities and technical skills expanded, I was looking for opportunities that offered stronger career and compensation progression.
