Pros

The people on my team and other teams are great!

Cons

Two words "Corporate Greed". Upper management only looks out for #1. They take all the glory and none of the blame. The real people that deserve props are the Architects, Devs and Ops teams that are actually making these big projects happen. All Upper management talks about are how their Executive retreats went while they were being wined and dined. Meanwhile back at Corporate some of us are working 80 hour weeks with ZERO additional compensation. They work you to the bone and expect you to be grateful that they are paying our salaries. In the last few years the culture has done a 180.

Pros

Great company culture, supportive team, smooth onboarding process, strong career stability, and meaningful work. My interview experience was very positive, and the recruiting and onboarding teams were helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process.

Cons

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.
