Pros

Opportunity for continued development and education both in the work environment and through tuition reimbursement. A mostly positive culture where you feel valued.

Cons

You will not make forward progress in your career unless you take action. They do not have a set plan for moving up and you will have to work with management to make a specific one for yourself

Pros

Good pay, that’s about it

Cons

management was completely absent… my boss went on leave for 6 weeks.. her boss never set a 1 on 1. Then reams me about my performance not being up to par but this was never once brought up to me in the 5 months I was here. In all honesty I think he was just mad because I asked for a retention bonus because I had another offer on the table. Tells me he doesn’t see a future for me at Blue and that he will be replacing my position with generic software engineers.... he wants to replace a veteran workday engineer with engineers with no workday knowledge, I’m sure that’s going to go well…
