Pros

An interesting codebase, Scala as the main language, worked remotely.

Cons

Some VIPs are amazingly rude and unresponsive; talking to HR while trying to have a decent professional atmosphere lead to me being fired. But I encountered very decent people in the team, maintaining connections with them now. Production-wise, with a self-appointed guru with whom one cannot discuss things professionally, narrows your opportunities to make the code better and to produce your new code in a decent, modern style. One is supposed to just obey. My attempts to find common language just failed. Talking to the management was useless (they are probably as scared as the rest of the team). Now, the CEO. He's the ultimate god-like authority. And he treats you as if he's a general and you are a soldier, and he can send you to die. I don't think I ever met such a CEO; everyone keeps some decorum in all the companies I worked at; this one just treats you like a dirt.

Pros

Sorry, I have none to provide.

Cons

I have never experienced the unprofessionalism and poor excuses for management that I did prior to leaving. Before this company took over, I was treated as the experienced and qualified professional that I am. As expected over time, people with zero clue as to how a job functions came in, completely changed the role and implemented completely unrealistic expectations despite much pushback from staff. I was told after being "psychoanalyzed" by my new manager (after already having a condescending manager for a week prior to this one that falsely claimed I was not meeting "productivity standards", was then forced to sign a CAP and removed from my alternative work schedule as "punishment" causing major upheaval in my life) saying that I needed to "get over" losing my schedule I moved across the country based on, I was also informed that I was "salary" and therefore it didn't matter how many extra hours I had to work "over" my time, that was what was expected. Almost every nurse in my department told me they also were working well over their 40 hours a week to meet their "standards". Many great nurses have been abruptly let go or quit over the poor treatment and outright mental abuse with the constant looming threat of losing your job. A lot of those in charge are seriously questionable and are more concerned with spying on your "activity" rather than offering anything of value to the company.
