Pros

There are a few great people still here, which makes this a nice place to work still..

Cons

You have to be part of the "Sallie Mae" club to do well in IT and Ops group in this company. There are so many incompetent Executive Directors that I have lost count. In my team too, few are favored too much, they get the most favorable assignments, get to sit in on all senior leadership meetings. They also got promoted solely because they were either friends with someone at the Senior Leadership or purely by their past association at Sallie Mae.

Pros

Great coworkers to be around, great benefits, work-life balance was perfect before the middle management layoffs. Collaborating with teams is constant and helpful for the design process.

Cons

They cut the research team, relying on designs to take on that plus end-to-end products, which leaves to heavy work loads and late nights. Deadlines are rather quicker than usual since the reorg.
