      Really bad at work life balance - Senior Software Engineer CoBank Employee Review

      Pros

      Great benefits and yearly bonus.

      Cons

      Pay is below market value (even after the “market adjustments” that were done), cost of living raise is skipped some years. Depending on what project you are working on, you are expected to put in a ridiculous amount of hours. Holidays, weekends, with no additional compensation. IT and SDLC best practices are not followed and there is a major lack of testing which leads to their IT systems being a complete disaster.

      CoBank has made significant adjustments to respond to the changing pandemic environment and pressure of a volatile job market. CoBank has evaluated compensation against market pay for all roles which resulted in market pay adjustments for many of our associates. We also classified over 95% of our roles as hybrid for a better work/life balance as well as adding additional headcount to ease workload pressures. We paid record high merit and short-term incentive awards, which were supported and approved by the Board of Directors of CoBank.

      Pros

      Financially speaking CoBank is a stable company. The yearly bonus payout is competitive,

      Cons

      It's referred to as "CoBank nice" which is another way of saying it's a passive-aggressive culture. If you dislike endless meetings, this environment can be frustrating. Strong resistance to change at the leadership levels - despite claims of being focused on transformation, real progress is very limited. Extremely slow pace. Recent months have brought significant organizational and leadership changes, but very little acknowledgement about the impact those changes have on associates. PTO is definitely not competitive.
