Pros

Remote work, so one can work from home full-time. Good dental insurance option.

Cons

Benefits. No bonuses No pay raises Immatured and inexperienced people put in project team lead positions. Stay away from teams like time and labor, they have immatured, insecure, dismissive and non collaborative dev leads, talkative QA and team leads, who are there to only satisfy their egos. They make the culture toxic.

Thanks for providing your thoughts. You can find all of our benefit offerings within the Culture Book located in ESS. We’re proud to say that our medical premiums have remained the same for the past 7 years. We have also added several free of charge programs and resources for those enrolled in our benefit plan. Additionally, we provide employees with the opportunity for a merit increase each year. This was removed for one year given the impact of COVID but has since been reinstated in addition to all employees receiving a spot-bonus of $2,000. For additional support, we strongly recommend connecting with either your manager or HR Business Partner to best support you with the concerns mentioned.

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.
