Business outlook
Pros
Good learning opportunities e.g cloud technologies and architecture skills. Good benefits. Decent work-life balance. Work with some bright people.
Cons
Stack ranking at its absolute worst. The performance system is tweaked adhoc (grading criteria, rate cutoff dates, consequences of landing below, bell curve percentages etc.) even retroactively, to cut people instead of publicly announcing layoffs. This has fostered a toxic environment where associates fight over the pieces that subjectively matter the most during calibration time instead of focusing on proper development practices. This is a very stressful environment to work at and can't, in good faith, recommend it for the sake of the employee's mental health and job stability.
