Pros

The cubicles are decent sized. The on-site gym. The benefits are great. Awesome work-life balance.

Cons

1. Too many managers that try to bully/intimidate you and know every little about what you do. 2. When things go wrong because there was an unrealistic deadline and you were too swamped to test things thoroughly, you get blamed over and over again and you hear about it from different departments. 3. There is no diversity, CUNA only hires people of one race. 4. CUNA does not like adapting new technologies! Most managers feel that they need to keep on using the same technology they used twenty years ago for fear that introducing updated technology will agitate customers and end up giving them (managers) a bad reputation. 5. Managers always "accidentally" walking to your desk to look over your shoulder to see what you are working on. God forbid you are not at your desk or are doing something else! 6. Cafeteria food is expensive! 7. Building is bland. Nothing to look at. 8. Contractors are treated like second class employees. 9. Pay is below market. 10. Too many meetings about meetings! 11. Too many "Lifers" work here who just coast and jealously guard their positions at all cost. Even if it means stifling all new ideas so as not to make them look incompetent. 12. People are graded on a curve.

Pros

Competitive pay and good benefits

Cons

Way too much going and l everything is a priority. When concerns are brought up as management is struggling to stay above water daily due to leading multiple teams, having a dozen or more priorities and being in back to back meetings every day, the concerns get brushed off and manager is told to figure it out. Lack of long term departmental vision from Director and constant shift in direction. Director does not care about team members and when concerns brought up from team members through the manager to Director, they get brushed off. So much restructuring going on constantly and leades get replaced every few years due to that. Concerns about more outsourcing down the road as new 3rd party company is starting to take a major application and moving data to their data centers. New major solutions get picked without looking at multiple vendors and any research. Director has a tyrannical leadership style and shuts down conversations and suggestions from management. Director only cares about his image to his peers and people above him and does not care about people reporting to him or people that his managers lead. Management and individual contributors morale is low due to above reasons. Not a good long term place to work.
