Pros

Fiscally conservative - the board and management are very frugal, which translates to the next point Stability - play by the rules and you are likely to keep your job (forever...mwahahahaha!!!) Big-Fish-Small-Pond - if you're a star in your field (even a small one), you'll shine brightly here

Cons

Management - is generally poor. CEO - rules with a (rusting) iron fist. Old-timers often refer to what "He" would and wouldn't like with regards to everything from office decoration to poorly-parked cars. If you're looking for inspirational leadership, look elsewhere. Rigid Structure - does not allow talented people to move. Don't expect to be in any position for less than 2 years, regardless of your effectiveness. Pay - my anecdotal comparisons w/ peers and friends show that this company isnt quick to splash the cash. However, mid/upper level managers can expect more (according to the pay scale, which hasn't been updated since 2007... ::sigh::) OLD!!! - young people are not a prized commodity and thus the workforce is rapidly ageing. No Google-style Friday afternoon keggers here. College recruiting isn't a priority and it shows.

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.
