Pros

Great infrastructure engineers to be in the trenches with, from senior down. Also most leads and staff engineers.

Cons

Blatant incompetence at the VP level, down into some of the staff and lead engineers. Inexperienced VP leading by threats instead of example, making impossible demands of engineering teams due to ignorance or malice, I don't know which. Nepotism, gossip and badmouthing, constant injects due to a lack of awareness of their own resources. They've fired people and shifted silos 2-3 times per year without any regard for their own processes or workflows. This place wouldn't stay running if it weren't for the skillful dedication of it's individual contributors, at least for IT infrastructure.

Pros

Good paid training Good benefits

Cons

In claims, overtime is required to just stay on top of your work load. They are understaffed for years and the burden falls on you to take care of your coworker's claims and you have to do your claims on your time off. I found I had no work life balance, it was all work.

Pros

USAA has provided competitive pay, benefits, leadership support, and professional development opportunities.

Cons

Since January 2, 2026, the role has involved continuous back-to-back calls with sales expectations on every interaction. Following organizational changes, performance metrics have become significantly more challenging to achieve, even for top performers with a consistent history of exceeding expectations. Every call is now audited through AI-driven quality monitoring, requiring extensive knowledge of state regulations, compliance requirements, and call-flow standards. The role has also experienced substantial turnover, and employee burnout has become increasingly common due to the sustained workload and performance demands.
