Pros

Good location of the office in Tempe

Cons

The pay is far below industry standard and they claim the benefits package makes up for it, if you stay 35 years. Reporting a data breach to the appropriate team will result in retaliation from management. It’s impossible to get a good rating for the year if you change positions anytime other than January 1st. The opportunity for advancement is terrible, everyone gets to a 3 of of 4 level and there’s nowhere else to go because 4’s aren’t given anymore.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
