Pros
* Asurion has a above-average work-life balance as long as you set clear boundaries. * Salary and benefits are competitive * The latest technologies are used and teams are encouraged to experiment * The work is fulfilling * Management does not put unrealistic expectations on product * Various internal programs to advance your career and competencies, including regular continuing education sessions, guilds, and working groups. * Extremely diverse company
Cons
* Developers are promoted via a quarterly nomination and voting process held amongst senior developers and above. As a result... * Office politics are brutal. No one here is your friend, and it's often cutthroat. * Senior level developer and above is effectively an old-boys club (albeit more diverse than that). Career progression does not depend on competency, work ethic, or other reasonable metrics, but rather solely on playing the office politics game - and winning votes. * Developers often switch teams and/or managers (I have had four different managers in my short time here). * Management is fairly disorganized. There are often two teams working on identical projects. Once this is realized, the office politics begin again. * merit-based raises are practically non-existent other than an annual COL adjustment.
