Pros

The software development team is one of the smartest, most technically savy development teams I've ever seen. We use the latest technologies and collaborate really well. The Software Engineering department is a first-class citizen with major senior leadership support. Tools and technologies that developers need are purchased without management nickle and dime-ing licenses. The new Agile model is working really well, and developers feel invested in the products they produce.

Cons

Still a lot of legacy code and technical debt - but we are working to alleviate it, and most development is done using newer technology stacks.

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Cons

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
