Pros

There are some good people at the company and you have opportunity to build relationships across teams. Competitive pay for the retail industry. 20% discount is nice.

Cons

No HR, very inefficient work flow, constant restructures, forced to work overtime without pay., very little visibility. But for me the dealbreakers were no one is interested in your career development and it can be hard to drive this yourself (especially without an HR team) and there were a fair amount of racist people I had to work with. Macy's business is not doing well and it shows. Also major lack of positive office culture or an incentive to do well.

Pros

For many roles, this is a great place to work if you like to hide or get by doing the bare minimum. There are plenty of performers around to take up the slack during their evenings and on weekends.

Cons

*waterfall development model - it takes months to accomplish what can be done in weeks *workload is not divided fairly *unblushing nepotism *it takes an act of God to get approval for some of the most basic hardware and/or software needs *this house of cards started to collapse between 2011 and 2015
