Pros

Insurance is ok…but that’s all

Cons

1. Very Disorganized 2. Relies on consultant companies to do development during short term engagements. When the consultants leave their knowledge leaves and your left to backwards engineer the system that they built. 3. There is no such thing as a SME when gathering requirements. No one knows anything 4. The company grew too large to fast. When acquiring new companies they failed to make any effort to integrate technologies and lines of Business 5. I didn’t know that PI Planning could be 5 days long 6. As a Product Owner I was expected to sign off on very complex architectural systems that should’ve been signed off by an architectural manager BEFORE DEVELOPMENT STARTED!! 7. Very waterfall 8. I personally asked, for around six months, for an Architect and Tech Lead for my team… I was given 3 BA’s and a Scrum Master… 9. No support from Leadership 10. They don’t believe in org charts so no one knows who reports to who, which makes it Very hard when gathering cost functional requirements. 11. Post pandemic, don’t expect to ever work from home. The CEO is really old school and believes in buts in seats 12 hrs a day If you are in ST. Louis this company may look amazing, however if you are in Charlotte there’s so many more options.

Pros

It's a paycheck and benefits.

Cons

The company is so busy gobbling up other companies and integrating them into its systems without doing the work to architect things better that its IT people are constantly in firefighting mode. Management is concerned with productivity, not people. There is a level of micromanagement here that I haven't seen since kindergarten. People are stressed, burned out, frustrated and leaving in droves. If I wasn't so close to retirement and needing the medical benefits, I'd seriously consider looking outside, even at contracting jobs.

Pros

None. This company is horrible.

Cons

This company became too big. They milk you out and throw you out like you are worth nothing. They pay is decent but if you want to be mentally stable I wouldn’t recommend working here.
