Solid Company Working on Becoming Cutting Edge - Principal Software Engineer DICK'S Sporting Goods Employee Review

Easy, flexible schedule with nice co-workers

Nothing but nice things to say about the company.

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
