Pros

Talented kind individual contributors trapped in the ranks

Cons

Over a series of about 4 years, Amdocs purchased really strong design and dev shops and rolled them into their projekt202 (recently renamed Stellar Elements) brand. These acquisitions were rich with talent, carried strong and loyal customer bases and had brand recognition and respect in the market. Once acquired, false promises were made and broken and strong individual leadership teams were replaced with an absolute incompetent group of Sr. Corporate staff. Strong cultural alignment and excitement to serve has been replaced by personal agendas and CYA motivations that drives this group of incompetent and tone deaf individuals. And it just keeps getting worse. This new name and completely out of touch Marketing team is taking a bad situation and making it worse. Word salad that says nothing other than an absolute incompetence in how new business is developed and how brands are built, is being force feed under the veil of corporate threats of layoffs for anyone not acting like they are 'drinking the kool-aid' Many of the most talented folks have fled with many more searching for a new home. It is hard to watch cultures be destroyed and clients we have come to care for, receive mediocre services as a result. The trajectory here is not good. Avoid this place if you have any other options at all.

Pros

* Backed by a large parent company (Amdocs) * Leadership that wants you to succeed

Cons

* Organization structure that leads to a lot of bureaucracy (firewalls, reporting, etc.). * Non-uniform communication channels. Stellar is largely in the Slack ecosystem which is great but support and the parent company are all using different channels to communicate (custom ticketing software and Microsoft Teams).
