Pluspunten
Unlimited PTO I felt comfortable using Remote (even pre covid) Worked with a lot of great people (though many I knew here are now gone) I worked on a variety of tools, and was able to pad my resume very nicely in this position.
Minpunten
The toxic work culture comes from the top and permeates the whole company. I did not feel comfortable pushing back on things further than with my immediate supervisor - and even he would not push back on much - I became familiar with being told “it’s what the business wants”. Also, time was tracked and focused on way too much (technically we used story points, not tracking time... but it was tracking time), to the point where if I spent an hour explaining something to a peer, I would create a ticket for it and mark it done! I was hired with a group of others, in total there were 5 QA Automation Engineers hired to bring the automation in-house. By 15 months later, all 5 had either quit or been fired. This turnover is not particularly uncommon in the company.
