Pros

The company has a good brand name and many smart people.

Cons

There is tremendous turmoil here. The company has produced year over year record earnings and then, at Christmas, the executives issued an accross the board pay cut. That is not a joke. After cutting the pay the staff has remained unsettled with many top employees already having left, others have prepared resumes. This coupled with increased technical debt has not prepared them well for the future. The architectures here are very dated but the company is not in a growth phase. So they continue to patch new business features on top of a cracked foundation rather than investing in new solutions. For me, I'd prefer to select a company that selects modern approaches to keep my skills up to date. With many good opportunities in Atlanta right now, I would suggest a company that would value you.

Pros

A very distinct culture of gritty, brilliant individuals. Very generous compensation. Lean org structure with access to the senior most leaders.

Cons

Not a company for those who aren't self starters. You will thrive here if you are diligent and independent.

Pros

Giant international corporation with unlimited resources. Multiple locations around the country and the globe with tons of jobs that are open for internal transfer (with some considerations). Generally high pay range.

Cons

Giant international corporations treat you as an unlimited resource. They use "Unlimited PTO" model for Sick and Vacation time, which I feel is a misnomer and a disingenuous concept as a whole. Unrealistic fixation on making employees use AI with no clear plan or direction on how it should happen.
