Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent benefits. Remote work is allowed, after one year. Many coworkers are approachable and collaborative.

Cons

New code releases may not take place earlier than 10 pm CST. Over abundance of paperwork required by engineers at all levels. Technical knowledge of senior engineers varies excessively for a career level. Technical knowledge is not always the biggest factor in promotions. There are some senior engineers with junior level technical knowledge. A large chunk of pay is based on bonuses. Generous number of days off, and minimum of 10 days. All PTO after 10 days which is unused is paid as days worked. However, that means you get paid less for taking more than 10 days vacation.

Pros

8% 401k match and pension. Lots of opportunity to work in various tech stacks

Cons

Good oldboy system, no real leadership hierarchy. Many people have been working at the company 25+ years and have no outside experience. New ideas are encouraged but is only lip service unless it meets someones agenda for internal politics. Pay is not that competitive.
