Quality company tries to do right by their people

Software developer ii

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Push the policies that encourage morals over profit (ex don't work more than you should be on a project for hours permitted; if you do, report it and it will be met with appropriate support and not punishment). Consistent pay increases (ever year or 6 months of min 3%) so long as you are on a project or projects equal to that span of time. Spending budget for education and educational tools. Free Udemy account and alternatives optional using educational credits. Encouragement to seek accreditation and certifications. Matching 401k's, great people and competent and kind people

Cons

Long waits for projects (months at a time), pay isn't as competitive while you are with the company (bare bones raises), no bonuses to associate level employees only management, Dropped off on supporting a group that focused on expanding people's perspectives with monthly BRAVE discussions; everything from disabilities, identifying inequity, and culture around BAH

A bittersweet experience

Senior incident response analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Amazing teams. The people I work with on the ground are some of the most knowledgeable professionals I have worked with. They have clear passion for the field. Benefits are standard for the industry.

Cons

Difficult leadership, while those I directly report to have been great and supportive for the most part. Those at the executive level tend to be non responsive. They give non answers to big questions at company all hands. Compensation is also low considering competitors at the same experience and job level in the same market with some benefits recently being cut.

Not a Good Experience

Business Outlook

Pros

Some of the coworkers are decent, 40% hybrid

Cons

RTO Policies for the sake of maintaining their need of the office space, Management is never clear or concise, Some managers have terrible egos and write up employees without cause. A lot of retailitory behavior. Everything gets turned into a meeting without anything being acheived. Every terrible stereotype of a toxic corporate office is found here.
