Pros

Good perks instead of money Good work life balance

Cons

Way behind on technically. Doing replication from 20 years ago and acting like it's cool. Senior employees managers have been here too long to see how out of touch they are.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this candid feedback. Growing quickly means that we have to make regular business and technical tradeoffs to enable us to best meet the needs of our customers and employees. As part of our evolution, we are working on continually improving many aspects of our methods and technology - including some of the technical items you referenced. I would be delighted to have an opportunity to speak with you in more detail about your ideas, so please feel free to connect or speak with your manager. Thanks! Brian SVP, Engineering

Pros

The pros about this place is that if you want a quiet area to work when you do work there out of 3 days out of the week that they have you work there. At least that's what it was when I worked there I don't know if they've changed it. Then you work 2 days at home. It's very quiet. Most the time there is nobody there. They will train you and help you but you will eventually have to be able to do it on your own.

Cons

If you switch over to departments don't depend on the company keeping you. If you mess up. The company was literally going through a buyout with the lottery company when I was working there and everything was crashing. So I got let go because there were a lot of errors and the system that they upgraded to was worse than the one that we worked on. So basically if anything happens with the systems just make sure that you know what you're doing and that you catch up on everything.
