Pros

The local team members are great.

Cons

Culture is very poor and layoffs are now common. They typically lay people off right before a major holiday or right after someone takes PTO. It is very, very shady how this happens. What is shown to the public and what really happens is very, very different. It really is like working for a company that has a bipolar disorder. For example, the Waco site used to advocate serving others in our community but this is no longer the case. The new leadership is against this because they see it as an expense because it does not "bring money in the doors." The C-suite types have killed this company and the culture that made it successful. Most of the people that were experienced have left or have been let go because they are a threat to the new regime. If you file an ethics complaint you will be targeted and laid off. Several of my work friends found this out the hard way. The software development practices are stuck in the early 2000s and if you try to advocate modern practices it is seen as hurting the bottom line. It is very sad what has happened to this once good company.

Pros

Balanced Work Load Awesome People Unique Work Experiences

Cons

- Went from flex time to forced 9/80 (this decreases our work life balance and our ability to adjust schedules to suit program needs) - Unlimited PTO is really a 4 week cap. (Which you will be forced into using more of because the lack of flex time. They do "unlimited" so they don't have to pay out vacation time when you quit) - Completely Bueructatic - raises and promotions can take 4+ months for many people - Annual raises are about 3% or lower. Very hard to get ahead. But they'll hire new people above you in wage. - They don't pay bonuses, but will give sign on bonuses to new hires of 20-40k - They are trying very hard to get new talent, but putting no effort into keeping talent. The turn over is high and on legacy projects no one has a clue what is going on anymore. - Expensive healthcare plans - No retirement matching the first year - They gave us Juneteenth off, but took away one of our holiday break days. I'd rather have all my holidays off in a row. Switching this holiday was a PR stunt. 0 benefit to the employees.
