Pros

Most of the team members are friendly

Cons

- They work in agile, but the company removed the Scrum Master role. So, the PO works as a Product Owner, Scrum Master, Project Manager, and needs to display Product Manager skills if you want to advance with the organization. - They work in water-gile. No PI Planning, but you will meet five times a week to discuss the same thing and receive updates. Why!? This is essentially waterfall. - Remote employees have 0 opportunity to advance after level 8. This isn't public knowledge but I believe this will make most remote team members resign and the company can avoid layoffs. They truly want everyone back in the office. - Most of the leaders didn't earn the position. They received promotions and they are learning as they go. As an individual contributor, you can feel it. Accepting this position was probably the biggest mistake of my career.
