Pros

* Excellent colleagues * Generous salary and benefits (though see last con below) * Superb work-life balance * Interesting work, with many opportunities to participate in new projects and broaden horizons

Cons

* Lack of flexibility, especially in hybrid/location-independent working (dealbreaker) * One bad manager who didn't set clear expectations and had a habit of shifting the goalposts (dealbreaker) * Lack of growth and development opportunities in my area and geographic location (dealbreaker) * More generally, the top-down, US-centric approach can make people in "remote" offices feel alienated * Lots of in-house training and ~6 months of onboarding, with limited opportunities for external events (e.g., conferences) in my area * Deadline chaos at the end of release cycles * Pay did not go up in line with inflation in 2023, so my pay was effectively cut in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis
