Pros

Coworkers are amazing to work with. Management and team sizes were very comfortable to work with. Nice work-life balance when off the clock and expectations on deadlines.

Cons

Poor software engineer pay compared to the overall market. Poor opportunities to explore other areas of IT in the company. The work you do is very siloed and you manage a couple items with very little chance to explore new technologies or have a change in what you work on.

Our teams and our technology have grown rapidly over the last few years. Opportunities to work on different teams and develop new skills continue to grow as we do. We also aim to offer competitive salaries—our salary grades are based on multiple market research surveys—both location- and industry-specific. Please know this feedback is important to us and we continually take it into consideration as we evaluate the structure of our IT departments. Thanks for sharing a review.
