Pros

The people are nice, mostly. Compensation was good, but because it's a large company, don't be surprised if that compensation is fleeting. They also have a severe case of confusion and chaos, with a lot of meetings that end up becoming redundant really quickly.

Cons

> A massive codebase, using a new framework, that was just created. > Where half the people you were working with left within a month of starting. > Insane expectations to learn something you've never used before (they may CLAIM to give you 3 months, but in actuality you're lucky if they give you 2. And if you say you need more time = pink slip time). > If you complain, or raise any legitimate issues, they will use that against you ( > Documentation that's 5-15 years old, no documentation for the new codebase, and no real way to train up people > "Firehydrant/Fire Hose" methodology of a ton of information, in incredibly short bursts, with no time to learn or even be able to take in notes > Everything is a bit of a mess there, with more time in meetings than anything else Honestly, don't be like me, don't be a dummy, look at the negative reviews. One would have to say that it's not only accurate, but shows systemic issues there.

Pros

Great company who value their employees. Work life balance.

Cons

horrible onboarding and training. Expected to do QA and wear multiple hats. No specialization.

Pros

The salary- you get paid every week. Admin team is nice.

Cons

The technical solutions team is severely mismanaged. Processes are convoluted and feel designed to extract as much money from customers as possible rather than actually serve them. Leadership has little grasp of what effective team management looks like- there are no 1:1s, no feedback, and no guidance, yet employees are expected to already know everything. When you do ask for help, you’re berated for it. To make matters worse, the Chief Administration Officer refused to engage with remote employees entirely, making it clear that remote work is looked down upon at the leadership level. Felt more like an external contractor than an employee. Wild for a family-run company that considers their employees “family”.
