Less progressive than your average tech company.
Pros
- super awesome corporation for the resume - great food options in the cafe - onsite amenities were fabulous. (BTV) - embraced open source solutions and performed make-or-buy analysis at a semi-regular basis. - the verticals in this company allowed for opportunity to contribute to many different code bases and solve many different problems. - in house hackathons. Also, company wide hackathons - CI/CD is amazing to work with.
Cons
- health care. I spent all of my political capital trying (unsuccessfully) to change the health care offering. - Technology choice: it’s a large corporation, so sometimes the tech that you’re super jazzed to use gets tossed to the wayside for what’s more standard. - many folks are looking elsewhere for employment opportunities, so it’s impossible to assume that the folks you know will be there in three weeks. - compensation is way below national average, but competitive to the other local competition MyWebGrocer.
