Pros

Some good benefits in line with the industry. Your co-workers most likely will be nice people to know and spend some time while working. Laid back environment.

Cons

There's no ownership of the product. After several re-orgs and bad organisational and tech decisions, all good experienced developers left. As a consequence tech standards are very low, It didn't used to be like that. We were proud of what we deployed to production, we had ownership and control over all parts of the process, from the idea, development, deployment processes till monitoring and maintaining it stable. The company culture promotes "stay in your lane" kind of thinking. Be prepared to be bored out of your mind. All processes are all very slow moving. There's too many politics, management trying to push each other out, Be warned of layoffs. Like any corporation, they'll make you want to be part of a "family"... but then one day you learn someone got laid off because leadership changed and cut without looking. CEO and everybody at the top get ridiculous amount of compensation compared to the rest.

Pros

Incredible benefits! Quality, affordable medical insurance, 401k, wellness reimbursement, travel reimbursement, plenty of PTO, etc. They have fresh food cooked daily for breakfast and lunch, available for purchase. They also have free food, such as yogurt cups, cheese sticks, and shelf-stable fruits available to all employees. The benefits keep many of us here. I will say, have had two supervisors so far, and they’ve each been great. Very understanding, yet motivating. I haven’t yet met a supervisor who didn’t value their supervisees.

Cons

The main digital platforms we use do not function efficiently, which makes a noticeable impact on our work. On a perfect day, you’ll still spend 8-12 minutes per hour waiting on load screens, but we have experienced days in which the sites were down for about 6 hours within an 8 hour day. I feel that our quarterly goals are not constructed with this in mind. Another major con is—like many places now—job security is an issue. AI is taking over the job of many employees, and while we’re told to embrace it, it’s difficult to do so when you could walk in any day and be told to pack your things.
