Pros

The company is stable if you fit the culture.

Cons

-The company culture is terrible, the values that the company and management sells is far from the truth. -The business expects a direct trade off with spending dollars to unrealistic expectations without ever laying the foundations to enable realistic expectations -The company is one of the cheapest around -They have an at will employment policy and will use it to their advantage, everyone is expendable -It doesn’t matter how good or skilled you are, it all boils down to dollars, savings -Work life balance is horrible, employees are upset and unhappy, cross functional teams are heavily siloed, infrastructure is nonexistent -HR posts job descriptions that are false advertisements -You will be treated as a number, management will sacrifice the quality of work, decisions, and their employees to prevent looking bad from their higher ups. -The company doesn’t operate based on their customers, They operate off of fear.

Pros

Wonderful internship experience. I truly enjoyed every aspect of the internship, from the people and team culture to the meaningful projects and great location. It was an incredibly positive learning experience, and I would highly recommend working there.

Cons

While the business professional dress code may not be for everyone, I personally didn’t mind it and felt it contributed to the professional environment.

Pros

Not much, if you want a place that's okay with mediocrity, then welcome.

Cons

They blindly follow industry trends not industry standards. We have an initiative to use AI to increase productivity, without a proper plan, without security in mind and lack of general understanding. Consistently understaffed, for example there are teams or parts if teams that have max 4 developer type roles with 36 apps or APIs to support - this has lead to inconsistent code and effort as employees are spread too thin to be able to deliver quality work. Management refuses to take responsibility for issues that arise from being understaffed. Teams are not consistent in what tools and pipelines are used causing even more confusion and delays. Double standards: they don't want to properly promote or give raises to hard workers. Upper management made it clear to direct managers that "meets expectations" was a fine thing to give... To employees doing more than their fair share of work and are doing work outside of their role since they have no one else to do it do to being understaffed.
