Pros

Really enjoyed the vast majority of people I worked with, both in the department and throughout the firm. Company has decent benefits.

Cons

They change managers like underwear and hire them for technical ability to do the job of the people they manage, not for their ability to lead, provide needed resources or industry guidance. 6 managers in 4.5 years, all the prior managers fired? Last manager has 85% turnover in 8 months. Obviously the issue is with the VPs and SVPs hiring these incompetent managers. Not enough staff to do the work - always the excuse that new hires and technology will fix the problem within 6 months. Per former associates - still the same today.

Pros

Great pay and getting OT pay. Awesome team of SMs and RTEs who felt like family and we all wanted to see each other succeed. I was exposed so a lot of situations which strengthened my skill set. Learned the SAFe model and it looks great on resumes. I personally had a great boss, bosses boss, and RTEs.

Cons

Executive leadership is ruining the culture. Many of the amazing Directors, AVPs and RTEs left due to the poor Executive leadership who do NOT know a single thing about Agile principles. Releases are 1x/mo so you have to work one Saturday a month which can sometimes be longer than a normal workday. Release Mgmt team is very difficult to work with and can be very disrespectful. They don’t hide it and it’s accepted. Execs killed remote work.
