Pros

Fair pay, decent benefits, reasonable hours

Cons

Management falls for scams like outsourcing and pair programming, and never admits to any mistakes. They make dumb decisions, like closing a perfectly good office and laying almost everyone off. And letting a product bringing in $120MM of annual revenue die for no reason. Also, some direct managers don't get to know you. And some employees attack those who aren't of the same race. So there were frequent layoffs that disproportionately targeted Hispanic and African-American employees. I was attacked, and I beat it, and then I left for a better company.

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.
