Pros

Solid entry level salary in Mississippi. 16 day paid time off, accrued in 5 hour chunks every two weeks. 401k match up to half of 6% of the paycheck. Quarterly Stock purchase plan at 15% discount. Snacks available in break room. Amazing coworkers at same level.

Cons

Poor high level leadership. High rumor and office politic community. Legacy technology has a death grip on developers. No career growth as a tech employee. Constant lies from direct management. Inconsistent job responsibilities. Off shore development for "troublesome" tech. There are a few favorite teams that work with new technology, but are also mis managed by high leadership. Constant cutting of the fat and no growth for the teams, just the product. Pretty much only a worth while opportunity if in integrations, ports, or labs in Mississippi office in tech. No remote work policy even though COVID-19 proved we could do it as a whole. Developer turn over rate is high. Quality assurance is treated like second-class citizen, and relabeled their title as "software engineer" and depends on manager whether you will be a developer or QA. System operations are constantly being out sourced, turning gaining tools and access into support tickets that are troublesome. You get a double whammy of expectations to "do whatever the client asks" at a moment's notice and "upgrade the system to the latest and greatest" without proper road mapping of system upgrades. Change is seen as risky and actively discouraged. This includes refusing to add new testing frameworks, upgrading .NET versions, approaching cloud development with azure, creating microservice applications to help monolithic platforms, replacing current windows services with any form of proper micro service, replacing SQL stored procedures with testable code, etc. To simply put it.. It's just a job, not a career.

Pros

Excellent culture with genuinely supportive and collaborative teammates. Leadership has a clear vision for the future, and there is a strong focus on innovation and customer value. I've been impressed by the professionalism of the onboarding process, the willingness of people across the organization to help, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact. It feels like a company that is investing in both its people and its products.

Cons

As with any organization going through transformation and growth, there are opportunities to continue streamlining processes and improving cross functional communication. The positive part is that the teams are receptive to feedback and committed to continuous improvement.

Pros

Camp L.I.F.T. is an incredible example of how Cotality brings its values to life through community impact and innovation. The program creates a meaningful opportunity to give back by inspiring young students to explore STEM, financial literacy, and leadership, while also fostering strong collaboration across teams and partners such as Foot Locker, Octane, ISACA, Google, and Cognizant. It’s truly energizing to be part of something that not only makes a difference for students, but also builds a strong sense of purpose and pride among employees.

Cons

There are very few downsides to the experience—if anything, the week goes by too quickly and it’s hard to choose which activities or sessions to be part of because there are so many great moments happening at once.
