Pros

The company has a good reputation in the marketplace with solid financials, which gives job security. Benefits are decent and there's a good amount of paid time off but you are always too overwhelmed to actually use all of the days.

Cons

The work loads are extremly excessive which make it tough to meet corporate goals and expectations. The entire company is under-staffed and upper management has made no attempts to actually hire additional employees. The company is beyond conservitive and rarely changes with the marketplace. The systems are literally from the 1980's which creates a massive amount of manual processes. There is an over-emphansis on diversity and promotions are not solely granted on talent or skills.

Pros

Business side is smart and is superb at their product

Cons

The IT organization struggles with structural challenges that impact efficiency. The offshore-heavy model in India means US-based employees regularly work early hours to stay aligned, which is unsustainable long-term. The workforce is heavily weighted toward a high-headcount service model rather than investing in strong engineering talent — you need fewer, better engineers, not more bodies. Central tech functions are attempting to build platforms, but without a clear shared understanding of what a platform actually means, these initiatives remain incomplete. The result is heavy manual workarounds propping up half-finished solutions. Strategic direction shifts frequently, and ongoing layoff announcements make it difficult to plan or build momentum.
