Pros

Good Work/Life Balance I like most of my coworkers Generally Nice/Helpful People I think generally good vibes and folks with good intentions I think we do our best to deliver good product for customers

Cons

As the group is growing they are adding new management layers and trying to measure our performance in various ways. Management is also always trying to "improve" things so you are constantly having to explain yourself to various people and prove yourself over and over again. Every time we get a new manager (PM, Dev or QA) they try and change what we are doing and we have to jump through hoops only for them to realize it was unnecessary and we were doing just fine the way we were. We have grown really fast in Financials Apps over the last 2+ years and I feel like some hires have been good and others have been pretty terrible. Those folks who immediately show themselves to be a bad fit are not shown the door and drag everything down. Work/Life Balance and WFH is good but some people take advantage and are going to ruin it for everyone else. Seems like management is always soliciting cross functional feedback but this leads to feeling like you are constantly being talked about behind your back. I am not the only one who feels this way. In general in my area I think the PMs have struggled to hire and adequately train folks before throwing them into the fire. It slows the team down and results in frustration.
