Pros

Strong company, care about employees, employees are encouraged to be innovative and know they are backed up, employees and customers more than just a number, we have hit every goal set financially thus far. Pay more than fair or above industry standards, benefits paid for.

Cons

Growing so employees feel sometimes less of a personal touch from managers than they were used to in prior years. Some departments seem disjointed and management not listening to customers and employees. Most senior management needs to understand resources are needed to accomplish the goals successfully. Employees feel overworked due to the growth of the company. Company slow to hire as they don't want to be put in a situation to have to let people go if things slow down.

Pros

The company offers a convenient office location with plenty of nearby dining options and ample parking. The office environment is pleasant, with nice views that make in-office days more enjoyable. The hybrid work arrangement provides a good balance between collaboration and flexibility. Additionally, the organization has been supportive of using AI-powered development tools, which can help improve developer productivity and efficiency.

Cons

As a Senior Software Engineer, I found the company to have several challenges that made it difficult to be effective and grow professionally. The engineering culture can sometimes feel blame-oriented rather than focused on learning and continuous improvement. The software delivery process contains multiple layers of approvals and redundant steps, resulting in slow code promotion to production and reduced engineering velocity. Technical decisions made by senior leadership do not always align with modern engineering practices, which can make innovation and technology adoption more difficult. Recent organizational changes have also reduced the attractiveness of the benefits package. Additionally, bonus compensation is minimal and generally not a meaningful part of overall rewards. While there are talented colleagues and opportunities to work on large-scale systems, engineers who value fast execution, modern technology practices, and strong performance-based compensation may find the environment less appealing.
