Pros

Free trip to Arizona for training, free coffee and snacks.

Cons

Where do I begin, my first warning sign should have been the job description change, listed as FTE, changed to C2hire, changed to contract. I still took the role against my better judgement as the people seemed nice, on the surface they are, but thats a smoke screen. Politics, layers of people to go through to get the simplest thing done, directors and managers treating their areas like a fiefdom. Managers afraid to make decisions, no warning of changes that impact you, and being told you are doing a good job, but if you make an error because you were not given the information, or it was held back, you are at fault. Managers too quick to jump in for easily fixable issues, that do not require intervention. Some areas are over staffed, while other areas are so understaffed you have one person doing the work of 10 people.

Pros

Really solid company. Good high level leadership and the best culture ive seen. Runs like a start up so lots of opportunity for impact. Growth is everywhere and theyre supportive of continuing ed. Culture varies by LOB. I work in Paze and cannot speak to Zelle or Certos.

Cons

This is silly but I cannot stand the work laptops. Small little windows machines.

Pros

Friendly coworkers, interesting problem space if you like finance and big data. In-office requirements but many show up after 10 or leave before 3.

Cons

Around the time of my exit, two people in leadership were fired. In my professional career I've never witnessed a firing that felt more like a humiliation ritual. They were paraded around the office and through all-hands meetings to aid transition (presumably for a new VP installing their replacement of choice), with my direct leads acting incredibly two-faced. Wishing condolences to the faces of the newly departed, but celebrating behind closed doors. Really gross. This behavior would at least make sense if it were in service of a good technical vision, but in my ten years of experience I have truly never seen worse development standards. Rampant ego and inertia. Getting engineers to even use Git is like pulling teeth. Want to install Python 3.10.x instead of Python 3.11.x? Have fun waiting 2 months for approval. And the communication from the executive level is nausea-inducing. Rarely we hear anything that strikes at the core of these issues. Rather it is vapid platitude after platitude. And insistence on the adoption of core values that feel like a Temu version of Amazon LPs.
