Pros

Excellent co-workers. I had a really good direct manager. Was able to work from home a couple of days a week, which offset the number of nights I needed to work with Asia. I loved my job and the variety of responsibilities I had.

Cons

Great people worked here. Yes, that is in the past tense for a reason. MANY, many very excellent employees have been let go in the past 5 years. The majority were long time and loyal employees. RIF after RIF after RIF... we kept being told that the last one was the last, then they RIF'd again. Management keeps getting richer with salaries and bonus payouts, while no or minimal raises given to employees. Bonus payouts had restrictions on performance of company... no such restrictions on Executives or Board. New CEO made it quite clear he hated IT and would get ride of almost all of it in US... and he did with the backing of the new CIO... the CEO basically forced out the prior CIO.

Pros

Great technology for the era of AI. Stock is doing well.

Cons

High performers have been laid off based on market/biz unit goals. Outsourcing/derisking is a thing lately.

Pros

Fast paced workplace. Lots of data to master SQL and data analysis

Cons

Toxic AF. Everybody seems to lower to 60% effort because the risk of getting tired is immense. If you give 100% and have to take a break and someone sees, the big boss will yell with a grumpy neurotic southern old man voice. Trust me, it is very unpleasant. If you are male, don't get hopes up for a promotion if there are any eligible girls. If it isn't done on purpose, then the general culture of cattiness and gossip will accomplish it anyway.
