Pros

Good benefits and 401K matching

Cons

IT leadership is extremely toxic, requiring ongoing night, weekend and holiday work. Teams are constantly understaffed and overworked, and management thinks hiring temporary contractors is the solution. People are consistently told to perform job duties that are above their pay and titles without receiving promotions. IT leadership consists of a large clique of former Janus employees who have driven out most other leaders. The bonus structure is a carrot dangled in front of you, but no matter how much work you do above and beyond your role, they do not give the upper level bonuses. Through attrition, IT has promoted several managers who have no experience or acumen for actually managing people. They micromanage, condescend, abuse employees time, and set impossibly unrealistic goals for employees based on promises they have made to leadership without consulting with business resources or their team members. HR does not represent their employees interests, they are only there to protect their toxic leadership.
