Pros

Some good and smart people at the company Pay/compensation is decent Remote work allowed Pretty good work life balance

Cons

Silent layoffs happen often Managers can have an ego - tendency to micromanage engineers There's a movement to offshore positions. The majority of the team I was on operated from India - and there's a clear pattern at First American of the leadership chain consisting of workers of that ethnicity, and favoritism being shown towards those workers, particularly those who were offshore

Pros

Building an entirely new platform as part of a digital modernization along with related applications that serve areas of the business where there is either redundancy or solutions created as an afterthought that don't fit an enterprise model. Exciting yet challenging. Excellent opportunity for career advancement if your leadership style and experience align with the culture.

Cons

Supporting existing business solutions and trying to iterate towards the desired modern vision can be a hard sell to some. Very challenging code base and difficult to move beyond cloud 1.0 with mostly virtual machines hosting workloads.
