Disappointment/poor culture

Pros

Was a great place to work, with typical complaints (salary too low, not enough work life balance, low raises, etc.)

Cons

One of the biggest complaints over the years, in the TX locations, was the poor culture, with management being derogatory, making decisions in a silo, treating people with disrespect. Executive management was finally turning this around, until it was decided to sell the company to Brookfield Asset Management. With the decision to sell there were also changes in Sr. Leadership. Sr. Leadership was brought in that brought the old culture back. Change isn’t always bad, and should be expected, but can be handled without sacrificing employee moral. This was not the case, and sr. and exec. leadership were making decisions without regard for the impact to the staff.

Pros

- Previously fostered a wonderful work life balance. - Never worried about job security. - Previously felt valued and appreciated whether in an entry level or senior role.

Cons

- Company moving in an awful direction. - Post acquisition it has deteriorated drastically. Yearly raises? Nonexistent. Impossible metrics used as a justification to not match wages to cost of living. - Return to office being an absolute sham in the context of promoting inclusivity. It severed ties with many quality employees removing even the option of remote or hybrid work for new hires.

Pros

Would hire and train up new programmers without industry experience. Offers some flexibility in scheduling (every other Friday or Monday off in exchange for adding 50 minutes to the other 9 days, alternate starting times) and 7.5 hour work days. They seem to value long time employees and skills in terms of promotions and responsibilities.

Cons

Since being acquired conditions have deteriorated quickly, all employees we're forced back in to the office to appease the new owners that have a financial stake in filling up office buildings. Long time employees have been leaving as fast as they can find an out and the word from above is that they're happy to see them go in the name of cutting costs. New hires aren't coming in as fast as people are leaving and postings are still offering remote work as an option to them, whether it is a trick to get them in the door or honest, it comes off as a massive insult to all of us who remained. The tone from management in meetings makes it sound like the plan is to make conditions even worse without any sort of concessions or benefits being given to workers, just higher volume and harder work. Raises have become more infrequent and smaller, have not kept up with inflation since the pandemic. The health insurance for the 2024 year was changed to be significantly worse for the New York location, but was touted as a change we should all be excited for by the higher ups. With the new parent company buying more insurance companies who knows if my job or any other position will still exist there in 5 years. Hard to recommend seeking a position with the company as it currently is unless it is your last resort, which seems to be the case for many of their new hires, often coming in underqualified.
