Pros

Free (bad) coffee, sad-looking fruit

Cons

No policy in place for maternity leave. Overall pay is not reflective of the amount of on-the-job testing/training required. Employees required to come into office for tasks that could easily be done at home. Management is slow to implement changes that positively impact employees. Likes to think of itself as an modern employee-centric software company, reality begs to differ.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
