Pros

Have to say benefits and onsite health center. Work life balance Company culture and great executive team.

Cons

Honestly, your work life balance will be ruined by constant pressure from managers in IT. Career growth will be very difficult if you are a non-white employee. Managers have keyword when it’s time for promotion discussions. “High bar and responsible growth”. That bar lowers if you are white, even lower if you joke all day with manager without contributing to a meaningful level. I know people who are mid level devs for 7+ years but people who got promoted within a 2 years for reaching “high bar” because they are friends of manager.One manager directly told me position was specifically opened for someone and my interview was just a formality. They were that brutal. Exit interview is mostly waste of time because it will be shared with managers of that teams who were the cause for your bad experience in the first place.

Pros

My manager was very supportive she would give great feedback and try to help me grow . The people were awesome. My coworkers were great and supportive.

Cons

For all the projects we had regional managers there was one that had it out for me. This person was relentless and I went to my manager. The problem I had with this person was they never stop coming after me and my manager tried to stop this person in their tracks, but they tried a way to come after me. My manager’s manager was kind of not a good manager because he was all about the numbers and he didn’t care about the person. He never once had a one-to-one conversation with me I noticed that he played favorites with people and it’s just not good to do that. I believe that as a senior manager, you have to get to know your team instead of hearing what other people say. There was a senior project manager out there who essentially threw me under the bus. When people would resign, all of the projects that were left behind by the previous person they would dump it on one person. It is a lot of work to dump on a person. Some managers would help you grow and there are others that will do the work behind your back on a project. There was one who would start adjusting my project numbers and get mad at me. Mind you this was my first year and this manager would throw me under the bus. “Great Workplace?” Please
