Pros

Daily $10 credit to assist with the expensive meal Options

Cons

Very flat organization, difficult to get promoted and move around, favoritism is rampant, leadership fills like dictators, treated like children. Used to be great, empathetic, common sense, diverse org but it’s the opposite since the takeover.

Pros

Great Benefits yearly 3-5% bonus Work life balance is pretty good Lots of resources to develop on

Cons

I was put on a team where all my seniors had 20 year+ of experience. I never got the chance to work on anything that made an impact, any work that I could have worked on to learn how to do the role to get hands on experience would be assigned to me then finished by my teammember. So for almost 3 years I had work complete by my coworkers and when I attempted to work on work my tech lead would tell me not to worry and just focus on small tasks. So being there for 3 years I barely progressed as a software engineer. Which is great id you want to coast by but I was let go when they let go our high performers and when I was told to pick up their slack and asked for assistance they let me go and replaced me with a contractor with 20+ years od experience.

Pros

Salary and benefits were good

Cons

Company is downsizing, Executives are being fired left and right. The current presidential administration has too much influence on the company. All of the progress that has been made since conservatorship began is being lost.
