Pros

Wonderful insight into the world of networking for big asset companies. One can learn alot about one of the more secluded but extremely important fields of software and hardware. The agile process is heavily leveraged and practiced ensuring one of the highest levels of experience in the practice.

Cons

Teams are very well coordinated with themselves but not so well with others. Seem to have a strange almost clique like environment in certain scenarios, though very few. Vision of the product is nice, but knowledge about competition and what parts we lack compared to them is lacking. New scrum masters/product managers I felt spent too much time training and getting to know the product over actually working with the team. Feels like this is due to the fact that the project is too monolithic and needs to be broken up more so on boarding is faster.

Pros

Wellness days and flexible hours

Cons

This used to be a great place to work. It’s become toxic, especially for women. Female leaders and employees continue to disappear while external male hires are repeatedly prioritized over qualified internal candidates. Entire teams have been restructured in ways that disproportionately impacted women while men were promoted into those roles instead. HR is there to protect the company, not employees. Repeated complaints about the same people go nowhere, and concerns are routinely dismissed. Public humiliation, favoritism, retaliation, and demotions have become normalized. Long-tenured high performers are being pushed out and replaced by aggressive leadership styles that are destroying what was once a strong culture. If you value growth, support, or psychological safety, look elsewhere.
