Pros

Work life balance and bonuses are not bad.

Cons

- Very much a white boy club and a nest for misogyny and underhanded racism. - The only way to get a promotion is to suck up to management and back stab everyone around you. - Lying about the progress and the real state of things which has led to disappointed clients time after time. - Lack of vision and direction. Products and years of development are put in the back burner every time a there's a management change. - All the talented people that made this place bearable have moved on to other companies especially in 2021. - Companies are moving to Agile and strong devops strategy, this company is going backwards to waterfall...

Pros

Job only as good as immediate manager. Salary is Ok ish Benefit options are ok not great.

Cons

1) Retaliation is a way of life at this company going back to 2018 and becoming worse since 2) Mid level managers are very efficient at passively insulting the Teams they are responsible for. 3) It is nearly impossible to advance in the company. 4) When you try to post to another department - your Mid level manager will do the best to stop you from advancing. Some have close friends in HR that will even have you submit a new application in an attempt to accuse the other department of recruiting you. I have experienced this. 5) The only way to increase pay and experience is by leaving the company. 6) It use to be a culture of lets help others when there is a problem, now it is lets find who to blame for upper mangers rushing a project before all risks are identified. 7) If you are taking a new Job - professionally push for higher Salary once you are in raises will be very small.
