Pros

Pay, culinary, campus design, most employees

Cons

I’ve overlooked some flaws in the 8+ years I’ve worked here, and maybe it was better then. But in the past months, the company continues to reveal how repugnant it’s absurd, opaque management structure truly is and it is very disturbing. The other reviews about the COVID response say enough and I can confirm it’s true. But what’s more unsettling is what the response itself says about the culture. This company “culture” is toxic to the core. “Culture” is used to justify indefensible and immoral actions. It rewards secrecy and complacency and and punishes those who speak out for what’s right. Power is concentrated in the hands of a small group of very wealthy individuals who operate without accountability and apparently morals. The result should be downright terrifying. If you accept a job here, know that the only ones left at the higher ranks of management are the blindly obedient ones who only tell their bosses what they want to hear. Others will take dishonest actions out of fear for their job and paycheck. The result is a corporation that can never advocate for your safety or well being

Pros

- Generally smart, nice coworkers - Working on software that helps saves lives feels meaningful - Good compensation for the Midwest, especially for someone just coming out of school - Good healthcare benefits - Beautiful, quirky campus - Amazing, low-priced food - Flexibility to explore work outside your core responsibilities

Cons

- Our actions and decisions often feel like a departure from our ideals and the semblance of culture evangelized by upper management , more-so in the past couple of years. We've pointed to our culture as justification for making questionable and disappointing decisions. Recent examples include the Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis case which hurt workers' rights all across the country, and forcing employees back to campus unnecessarily and prematurely during the COVID-19 pandemic. - Development processes and tools feel clunky and outdated. We are bogged down by technical debt that typically puts innovation or process improvement on the back burner. - Your overall experience, ranking, and career trajectory are highly dependent on your team lead. Many of them lack proper training, skills, and experience to manage. It's really luck of the draw.
