      YesterYear's Company

      Industry consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent benefits. Flexible work schedule. Great training. Smart people. Premier technology.

      Cons

      Company is led exclusively by management who 'bonded' together 10 years ago during merger/spin-out/IPO from NCR/AT&T, and if you are not one of 'them' you will not be promoted into a position of authority/management. Very very old guard who protect their secrets and ignorance. They will not listen to change. You are either a member of YesterYear's senior management club, or you are a meaningless resource.

      Epitome of Dysfunction

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nicely remodeled HQ campus. Hiring smart people. Former CEO stepped down in January. Social campaign makes it look like great place to work. Investment in technical training.

      Cons

      Unprofessional culture - Senior Executive(s)/Chairman are inappropriate in language and behavior on stage at company/family events and town halls. Naivety + arrogance at the top is killing the company. Constantly changing strategy, direction - drives continuous reorg and retrenchment. Culture of entrenched silos, politics, protectionism. Averse to change and risk, stuck in outdated thinking, silence new ideas . Top execs reward and promote long service, loyalty, and blind allegiance over competence; many smart and strong minded employees leave frustrated, or the organization pushes them out. Diversity and inclusion non-existent, and led by top exec behaviors; cannot be solved with an HR program or task force.

      An agile train wreck

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Great training and learning opportunities (Kubernetes, Python, Go) 2. Pay for performance has worked out in my case 3. Great people in the trenches are making things happen

      Cons

      1. Silos, silos everywhere :(. Lots of meetings but not lots of meaningful communication 2. Teams are (supposedly) agile but products are coming together as high stress, big-bang integration efforts at the end 3. Various HR roll-outs have been rough ("unlimited" vacation, new performance review process)
