Pros

- Decent benefits - Facilities are new and top notch - Development Teams have access to the latest tools and technologies

Cons

- Poorly managed projects result in disproportionate workloads - Lacks technical vision and execution - HR is so poorly staffed they cannot correct department and leadership deficiencies - Poor project management and planning forces teams to work 12+ hours for months on end. - Outdated development process (lacks industry standards) - IT leadership doesn't trust employees and would rather spend money on consultants who are repeating what employees have said for years. - Middle and Upper management (not C level) lack trust in employees - Poor management has resulted in lots of very talented employees leaving

Pros

With the exception of some teams, company culture is great. Opportunity to work on some cool stuff

Cons

Super strict on in office attendance and recently culture has taken a hit because of it. Also compensation and career progression aren’t very good past year 1.
