I always found the programming managers to be receptive and down-to-earth. There seemed to be opportunities for people to advance if they are dedicated and work hard. The company takes decent care of their employees. They were more interested in us getting our hours in than a specific daily schedule.
Cons
The work was not very interesting or challenging much of the time. The atmosphere was kind of poor. There's a low opinion of HR (although I found HR to be reasonable and courteous). Not a very strong sense of team, but more like groups of programmers that are on the same team. However, good camaraderie.

Current President has run the company into the ground. He has had two rounds of layoffs since he took over five years ago. New clients sign and then back out of the contracts. He does not engage with employees. Spends most of his time in his office. No ability to inspire employee productivity. After the most recent round of layoffs in January, he could not look into the camera on the follow up town hall meeting and was not convincing in stating the company was still in good shape financially. Culture is all stick and no carrots. As mentioned by someone else, President wants employees in the office three days a week but most meetings are held on Teams. CIO is outsourcing as much as he can and will continue to do so as he is incentivized to save the company money. CFO is incentivized via her bonus to say no to any new spending or budget increases and this leads to choosing the cheapest but not necessarily the best options for the company. DEI is limited to spreading awareness of differences with no real impact on hiring or promotions. DEI officer was chosen as she was the only Black management employees in HR. HR director is the worst. She has no academic degree in HR of any kind and is in the role due to loyalty to the MAGA Republican owners of the company. There are no people of color above the the Director level.
