Pros

Great customers, people and a stable platform.

Cons

CoBank was great but senior management has ruined it. IT and HR are poor. COB makes customers cringe due to a lack of business acumen. Senior management has moved the line’s focus from the customer to themselves with never ending meetings and needless paperwork. The CEO is the cause due to poor personnel decisions.

Pros

There are a number of bright new minds coming in to our team every month. I work with some genuinely wonderful people.

Cons

There is a strong disconnect between the quality of our deliverables and the direction that sets our direction. We have developers on our team that have tasks assigned to them that they are unable to complete due to policy, and there is a culture of preventing communication or prohibiting criticism or redress of difficulties in doing our jobs. Essentially, we're fired if we speak up, and we're fired if we're not performing, and there's a steady stream of contractors that almost keeps up with the churn. Nobody on our team has met with their direct report in over a month, and there haven't been one-on-one's scheduled in the last year.

Pros

Decent pay/benefits and hybrid work policy. Good colleagues to work with.

Cons

Technology and product management is oblivious to the feelings, needs, and opinions of their employees. Favoritism rampant and obvious. Lots of turnover and a lot of domain knowledge lost. No clear career paths or opportunities for existing employees.
