Micromanagement, benefit changes for worse, really bad IT management - Java Developer Elavon Employee Review

Pros

HSA or the pension if you plan on working until 65.

Cons

You work 60 hours a week, you're micromanaged to death and policies change daily. Remote work is not allowed, the insurance policy changed to a really high deductible plan for 2011. When I was offered a position, I was sent the 2010 policy and not told about 2011 changes. When I started, I found out what the real benefits were going to be, an extremely high deductible. Pension is useless you plan to retire at 65. The technology is lagging. They are using Java frameworks that have been dead for years. Managers with no technical background are making architecture decisions. Foreign employees are treated like indentured servants.

Pros

Strong environment for professional development and career growth. The organization provides ample opportunities to climb the ladder if you are proactive. I also believe the recent shift in leadership direction is a promising move toward the right future for the company.

Cons

The organization struggles with significant corporate bureaucracy and a siloed working environment, which leads to redundant projects and inefficient capital allocation. While the company pushes a 'total compensation' narrative, the liquid cash compensation and benefits packages—particularly health insurance flexibility—do not currently align with market standards. The lack of a cohesive product strategy remains a primary friction point for leadership.
