Pluspunten

* There are interesting projects and challenges to work on. * Bagel Wednesday * Benefits and pay are competitive, though not compelling * Sabbatical program

Minpunten

* There is a lack of leadership at senior levels, and this causes lots of politicking and fighting at lower levels. * Poorly thought through and inefficient processes; some teams try to do agile development, but still have to do the waterfall process gates * Poor technology stack, and you're forced to use it. Trust me, it's awful. * Even features that nobody will ever use are URGENT and you are expected to give up your life to work on them. * Managers are rewarded for taking on more projects, even if their team cannot absorb it. * Creativity is discouraged. * The net of this is that even though there are interesting things to work on, actually working on them is a very frustrating experience.

Pluspunten

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Minpunten

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
