Pros

The benefits are great. I really like the company culture. There are a lot of extra perks given to us. IE, Garmin Holiday party, Worlds of Fun buyout, December Kids day, they cover memberships to Sams Club or Costco, also to fitness clubs. I get treated with respect and like an adult.

Cons

A bit more flexibility in scheduling would nice. A better working schedule of deliverables is needed. It gets to crazy and we bounce back and forth to much. A greater emphasis on creating quality requirements, code, and tests is needed. This would help with having so many releases. Also a greater emphasis on uniformity and how things should be done is needed; to many teams do everything different from other teams.

Pros

Nice headquarters, good people, fun atmosphere.

Cons

Questionable C-Suite directives/policies. A lot of bureaucracy, and it's difficult to move new ideas forward.

Pros

Great, and I mean great benefits.

Cons

Poor local culture, everybody is in their own clicks and don't deviate from them. Not a huge amount of office friendliness. Not many team building exercises, and qa gets left out of alot. If you're not a developer, you will have a yard time socially. Coffee is the worst I've had at a company ever. Return to office was not handled right, and the wfh policies were written very vague by a local manager, but what they actually wanted was very specific and was not communicated at all(avg of 1 per month over the course of a year). This lead to a problem where I was denied a wfh request to grieve a dead pet because I used wfh 2 weeks earlier to register a new car ( that I got solely for work commute)
