- Poor to nonexistent company culture; we still don't have any core values (stated or otherwise) and leadership offers very little real transparency. Before the pandemic we at least sometimes went to bars with other coworkers, but we don't even have that now. Extremely cold and mercenary.
- Individual innovation is discouraged.
- Repeated, unexpected layoffs based on imperfect performance metrics.
- Have to watch the internet react to said layoffs with calls to boycott the company, which would make stock options worth less than the taxes employees paid to exercise them.
- Massive codebase; you have to learn a lot about refactoring at scale without causing fires.
- Virtually nonexistent coaching towards real career growth.
- Very low probability of any recognition for great work, fostering a culture of mediocrity.
- This is, at the end of the day, a mortgage company. You aren't going to invent anything new here, just streamline business processes and integrate with third parties until your eyes bleed.
