Pros

The pay with Genesco is decent, and the benefits are pretty good. The 401k matching is definitely a plus.

Cons

terrible corporate culture, lack of leadership engagement, wishy washy on jobs. One minute hybrid and one minute everyone has to be in the office regardless of the burden. If a leader doesn't like you they will tank your entire review based off a perceived failure in a single area. It's a joke to actually ask for fairness and a voice. HR doesn't follow through on issues raised, it just gets swept under the rug.

Pros

Work-life balance is genuinely good. Flexible and not a grind culture.

Cons

Middle management is the weak point. Several managers are promoted developers with no real management training or experience, they know the tech but not how to lead people. Project structure is disorganized and compensation lags behind market rate.
