Pros

Good mission, good culture, benefits are good. Health insurance and 401k match are both the best I’ve had. Encourage professional development. Software engineers also build their own infrastructure which is a marketable skill. Decent effort towards diversity and inclusion.

Cons

Performance Management is terrible, kills morale, and is stuck in the 80’s. Salaries could be higher. No negotiation on salary at promotion so negotiate when you start. Culture dependent on team; can be toxic, but can be great depending. Lots of red tape and bureaucracy reducing developer productivity.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
