Pros

There are some employees that are wonderful to work with.

Cons

The pay is below average and the benefits average at best. The culture is pushing to have a vast majority of workers as contractors, so the company is going from a technology company to having technology as managed outsourced with a goal of attempting to pinch every last penny left so it can be flipped/sold. Unfortunately, this has resulted in grossly understaffed and incompetent overall teams. With interest rates rising and order volumes lower, these programs have significantly accelerated. Layoffs have happened multiple times just in the last year. The few teams left who attempt to be successful are often met with significant overall internal bureaucracy. Customers simply aren't the focus here anymore, but instead, red tape and cutting costs (even when it's cutting into the bone that's left in the org).

Pros

The interview process was well-structured and I was able to have a good sense of the team culture. I spoke with people across research, product, engineering, and design leadership, and each conversation felt intentional rather than repetitive. Another thing that stood out was the onboarding experience, even after accepting the offer. Every step felt smooth - they were responsive, proactive, and thorough in a way that seems pretty rare nowadays. Anytime something came up that needed attention, they were already on it - I really appreciated that

Cons

The interview process has multiple stages and felt longer than other ones. Other than that, none I can think of currently

Pros

Camp L.I.F.T. is an incredible example of how Cotality brings its values to life through community impact and innovation. The program creates a meaningful opportunity to give back by inspiring young students to explore STEM, financial literacy, and leadership, while also fostering strong collaboration across teams and partners such as Foot Locker, Octane, ISACA, Google, and Cognizant. It’s truly energizing to be part of something that not only makes a difference for students, but also builds a strong sense of purpose and pride among employees.

Cons

There are very few downsides to the experience—if anything, the week goes by too quickly and it’s hard to choose which activities or sessions to be part of because there are so many great moments happening at once.
