Pros
Great opportunities to introduce new technologies to the company Lots of training opportunities and I can attend at least one major conference per year which has been very beneficial Opportunities to code in multiple languages Challenging business problems to solve which often need solutions leveraging newer industry technologies Flexible work schedule Talented coworkers Work is in Nashville which is big pro for me Company has to support locations across the globe, and I have enjoyed working with people of other nations Solutions needed for multiple platforms and cloud providers Company has opportunities in a lot of areas Good pay and stock options, but not very clear on when stocks are granted.
Cons
Promotion frequency for engineering vs management tracks seems far too slanted towards the management side Merit pay increases seem to be below industry average Asurion is a very fast paced environment at times which is not for everyone, and can be difficult to get a good work/life balance. However a good balance is achievable and carries a lot of weight as to why I’ve stayed with the company over the years. That balance took me some years to figure out, and I’m ok with working at odd hours and spending time working on weekends when needed. A lot of stressful years were put in before I reached a balance so I need state that for clarification. Also my first few years with the company the growth rate was really straining the employees. Employees are far less strained overall these days, but the pressure and flux can be overwhelming for some.
