Pros

9-5 job, Generous PTO time , Survived the financial metldown well. pension plan 401k 4%match by company. Decent benefits Flexable working hours...

Cons

Some middle managers are not suited for their jobs - poor people skills, lack of knowledge - but seem to hold managerial positions simply because they have been at the company for a long time. The overall salaries are low compared to other companies. The workload is crazy and one needs to be able to compartmentalize and leave some things undone in order to not be overworked. Management sets goals that are impossible to meet worklod assignments are not equally distributed. This puts some people in a position where they have to stay late or come in on weekends to try to keep up even though their salaries don't warrant this kind of dedication. Advancement is impossible and goes to least qualified.

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.
