      Pros

      Reasonable pay, not much pressure

      Cons

      Almost impossible to do anything. Communication between departments is completely nuts, QA does not care what are the changes to test, developers are getting tasks from business already after deadline with critical priority :D, critical tasks in progress are sometimes completely redefined every day, releases are joke. Everything is super restricted and there is no clear path to change anything. Tools are chosen by business people (although devs are regularly surveyed if they have the tools to deliver great results and then ignored) Starting to restrict remote work.

      Pros

      Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

      Cons

      Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
