Pros

Good culture, good people. Wish more were back in the office but the company has done a poor job making people feel safe to do so - not from COVID but from the dangers of Murderapolis

Cons

Little emphasis from upper management on research, doesn’t make as much cash for the company as banking so we are left high and dry. Salaries are a fraction of competitors and work/life is worse as many competitors have teams of more than just a single associate. Little opportunity for upward mobility and development

Pros

It's nearly impossible to get fired. After many years, the IT department has hired a diverse team. Coworkers were intelligent and ethical.

Cons

Unusual that, until after Covid, the IT department was about 95% Caucasian, but now the diversity seems to be due to the ability to lower salaries, and worsen work/life balance. Management will only promote yes-people, or hire from the outside. It's akin to working in IT in 1990s, there is little process or structure. Laptops weren't given to IT until after Covid (yes you read that right), and when they were handed out, they were the used laptops from revenue generating departments that had been upgraded. It was a very chaotic environment.
