Pros

Other departments in Choice seem fine, but the IT area for developers, especially choiceEDGE, is very toxic.

Cons

Poor leadership, decisions are ruled by egos, liars run amok, followers get thrown under the bus, projects are approved and then scrapped upon completion. You're going to be in a pit of vipers here, either turn into a venomous snake yourself, or get bit.

Pros

New technologies are being adopted allowing an opportunity to learn new stuff. Used to be an awesome place to work.

Cons

Lack of clear strategy and C level leadership very biased with former colleagues from past company. Some directors close to C leadership harrass employees constantly with no ears to listen to the complaints. Culture degradation slope is super steep.

Pros

HR Lots of parties but that is changing Hotel Discounts Good Speakers

Cons

Not defined Goals Leaders are them self confused about what to do PBR Model(Plan Build Run) -- you will not get complete exposure if you are engineer. if you are on run than you are only on phone with issues with very less coding. if you are build engineer enjoy coding but no real world application issue exposure. Build Job risky as they keep moving you in projects. Very Vague requirement. Employee are encouraged to put more hour in timesheet. Promotion and your reputation quantified based on your TimeSheet hours. Encouraged to work on weekends.

Thank you for your feedback. We value you your thoughts and will share your perspective with executive leadership. We’re glad to hear that you have enjoyed our popular employee hotel discount program. With over 6,000 franchised hotels worldwide, it is one of the unique benefits that we offer our employees. With all that said however, we are disappointed to hear your thoughts regarding our IT organization as our technology workforce is a critical, valued, division of Choice that fuels our overall organizational success. In fact, just last month, Choice proudly announced the transition to the first new global reservation system (GRS) from a hotel company in over 30 years. This transformational project, was led by our technology team, and is a milestone initiative for us. With a focus on the future, our executive leader of Enterprise Operations & Technology has dedicated strategic oversight to our tech associates, aligning our IT initiatives with our business objectives, and partnering even more so as one unified Choice voice. Bold things are happening at Choice and we are working to drive a culture of collaboration, fresh thinking and innovation.
