Pros

Met some great people, unlimited PTO, remote-first environment. Benefits were good (starts on your first day) but salary is okay, not competitive. We had an engagement team who really tried to change and better the culture by planning different events and such, so that was nice. I do think they were regular associates in different teams who volunteered to do this, but not sure if they were rewarded or compensated for this additional work. I hope they were.

Cons

Feels like leadership lives in their own bubble, My VP wasn’t a contributor to the work but off doing some other things. Especially since we were short staffed, it would've been great to see them contribute more to offload work from the associates. I’m not completely sure what they were doing, but I didn’t see their impact on the team. My director was all over the place too. It was hard to pinpoint if we were reaching our KPIs, they were always changing. High turnover and layoffs. And takes a long time for them to backfill, so get ready to be assign other responsibilities of other roles with no additional support, salary increase, or title change. I didn’t see a lot of promotions at this company. Overall, high expectations, high stress, little reward from my experience.

Pros

Great team, benefits, and flexibility to build your own schedule. Targets are within reach

Cons

Not many. Some growing pains of a startup-sized subsidiary within a multibillion dollar organization.

Pros

Remote, good benefits, great work life balance. If you want a very low stress software job with very well defined success metrics, this is a fantastic place to work.

Cons

Accountability is focused on process following rather than results. Sprint velocity is far more important than creating a well functioning product. Additionally, there is massive architectural tech debt from long ago. It is improving now, but much remains.
