Pros
- Lots of great (world class talent) people still left...for now - Decently flexible with hours - Base compensation
Cons
- The company is dead. It got consumed by Mastercard, which doesn't know anything about engineering or engineers - New benefits are completely non competitive There is no Applied Predictive Technologies. Mastercard kept the name, culture, and policies around just long enough to get through recruitment season and gobble up as much great talent as they could - by using current employees to recruit heavily to a company that wouldn't exist shortly after offers were accepted. I feel horrible about what I have done on behalf of the company lying to so many students, even if I fully believed all the great things I said during recruitment season. We didn't know better and recruited based on working with world class talent, a small agile team, flat structure, great benefits, collegiate atmosphere and culture, etc. All of these things have been swept away before those hires will join. Nearly every time I talk to co-workers outside of work (or even in the office in hushed tones) it is about exit plans and mourning the loss of the company we once loved to work at.
