Pros

Some decent people exist in the workplace. Made some good friends, so that helps get me through my days and try to stay positive. There used to be employee appreciation days, which could be pretty fun. Benefits are good.

Cons

Where to start...Management consists of a bunch of biased, pompous people. Promotions are pretty much based on who you're buddies with. Expectations are ridiculous for the lack of pay. Only certain employees are recognized for hard work. There might as well not even be an HR department, doesn't exist in Rochester. Some people decide that it is ok to consistently come in late and get paid for doing jack. Too much work to get done for the amount of knowledgeable staff. Turnover is so high so new inexperienced people are constantly coming in. There should always be decent pay raises based on job performance and how long you have been with the company. I should be making way more than these new people who have no clue what they are doing.

Pros

The interview process was well-structured and I was able to have a good sense of the team culture. I spoke with people across research, product, engineering, and design leadership, and each conversation felt intentional rather than repetitive. Another thing that stood out was the onboarding experience, even after accepting the offer. Every step felt smooth - they were responsive, proactive, and thorough in a way that seems pretty rare nowadays. Anytime something came up that needed attention, they were already on it - I really appreciated that

Cons

The interview process has multiple stages and felt longer than other ones. Other than that, none I can think of currently

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.
